Oberoi Mall Celebrates ‘The Fun Bunch’ Anniversary and Reaffirms Commitment to Senior Citizens' Fun Quotient 

Mumbai, August 22nd, 2023: Oberoi Mall, one of the trendiest malls in the western suburbs of Mumbai, celebrated the first anniversary of ‘The Fun Bunch' on August 20^th and 21^st 2023. ‘The Fun Bunch’ is an initiative launched a year ago, on the occasion of World Senior Citizen's Day. This initiative has successfully created an enriching space for the elderly in association with the Adhata Trust.  

The young enthusiastic team of Goodfellows embraced the festivities on August 21^st, 2023, wherein they organized sessions focused on enhancing mind and movement for the elderly participants along with a host of fun activities. Goodfellows is India’s first companionship start-up for the elderly.  

The anniversary festivity was held to celebrate a year filled with new and strong bonds, shared moments of laughter, and memorable experiences. The event was divided into two exciting sessions, with Adhata Trust thoughtfully organizing a variety of enjoyable and fun-filled activities for the enthralled participation of senior citizens, who attended the anniversary celebrations.  

The Fun Bunch is an event tailored for senior citizens with an objective to engage them in fun activities and make their visit to the mall a memorable one. Along with this initiative, the mall has also launched additional services which are provided on request such as electric wheelchairs, porters service, reading glasses and adult diapers, to make their experience at the mall hassle free. 

Mr. Sameep Pathak, Chief Executive Officer – Mall, Oberoi Realty expressed, "The Fun Bunch anniversary celebration is a source of great pride for us. Witnessing the happiness and camaraderie that The Fun Bunch has cultivated over the past year has been truly heartwarming. We extend our sincere gratitude to partners like Adhata Trust and Goodfellows for joining hands with us on this journey. Moving forward, The Fun Bunch remains dedicated to creating a haven of happiness and engagement for our beloved seniors." 

Ms. Clara D’souza, Chief Operations Officer - Adhata Trust said, “The Fun Bunch has proved to be an excellent initiative. The joint partnership between Oberoi Mall and Adhata Trust has worked tremendously well. We now have a group of over 35 persons who regularly participate in the Fun Bunch. Given its success, and reach, I think it would be beneficial to all of us, if we extended this program to include special feature camps for the elderly or make it a bi-monthly event. I look forward to continuing our partnership with Oberoi Mall and working together to build community with our senior citizens.”  

Oberoi Mall's dedication to this endeavor stands firm, with the ongoing mission to nurture a haven where seniors can also enjoy themselves by creating cherished memories, fostering connections, and embracing a life enriched by lively interactions and conversations.
