​Sanity-check my idea: Using healthy seniors as trained caregivers for daycare.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for brutally honest feedback on a startup idea I’ve been thinking about for some time. I’m not trying to pitch I genuinely want to stress-test this and understand where it can fail.The problem I see

India is heading toward a retirement / old-age crisis:

A large percentage of Indians work in the informal sector

Many will reach 60 without meaningful retirementsavings or pensions.At the same time, more women are entering the workforce, increasing demand fchildcare.So we have two growing needs:

1.Elderly people who need income, purpose, and care

2.Working parents who need reliable childcare

The core idea at high level is

Create an intergenerational care model:

Healthy seniors (60+, able to walk, talk, interact, and handle children)

Trained for ~1 year in a structured pedagogy for early childhood care

Then employed inside a combined old-age home + daycare center

tgere are many possible verticals like one to one care ,hospital integration peadgogy design

Seniors gain income + dignity + purpose

Parents get lower-cost childcare

Children get more attention than typical overcrowded daycares

Where I want your help:

What are the biggest problems in business model you see or any legal landmines i can face
