Serene Communities By Columbia Pacific

What Serene Communities By Columbia Pacific does

Serene Communities by Columbia Pacific operates India's first and largest Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) platform, providing senior living homes across 10 operating communities with 1,700 units serving approximately 2,400 seniors. Headquartered in Bengaluru, the company runs properties in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Telangana, and Maharashtra under a CCRC model that integrates independent living, assisted care, post-hospitalisation rehabilitation, dementia care, and palliative services within a single community. Its core technology stack includes the seniorshield platform (AI-driven predictive health monitoring, real-time vital sign tracking via wearables, and teleconsultations) and the KITES Senior Care clinical services arm, enabling a seamless care escalation pathway as residents' needs evolve.

The company monetises through a mix of one-time apartment sales (₹70 lakh to ₹1.5 crore per unit), recurring assisted living rentals (₹50,000–75,000 per month for the new 104-bed Bengaluru facility), ongoing maintenance and service charges, and a rental yield program marketed to investors (₹22,000–45,000 per month). Its go-to-market combines direct field sales teams at on-site galleries, inside sales via phone/email/WhatsApp, and a co-development channel with regional real estate partners including Embassy Group, Gardencity Realty, Prathima Developers, Cybercity, and TVS Emerald. Design is delivered through partnerships with US-based Perkins Eastman and India's Venkataramanan Associates, while clinical partnerships with Manipal Hospitals and PharmEasy extend the healthcare ecosystem.

In January 2026 Serene announced a ₹3,000 crore pan-India expansion covering 13 additional projects and approximately 2,600 units across Bengaluru, Chennai, Mysuru, Kochi, Hyderabad, and Pune, positioning the company to capture early share in a market growing from 1.3% to higher penetration levels at a projected 27% CAGR through 2030.
