Today, we begin a conversation on a topic that affects countless individuals: social isolation. It's a condition that goes beyond physical solitude, encompassing the emotional and psychological disconnect that can profoundly impact one's wellbeing. To understand its gravity and pervasive nature, we'll explore its causes and effects, with a particular focus on seniors.

To shed light on this critical issue, we are honored to share a glimpse into our interview with Peggy Gilmer, a dear friend of Tuktu Care. Peggy graciously shared her experiences during our research phase for this podcast. A vibrant woman in her 70s, Peggy's diverse career in organization development and her continued involvement in coaching young startups provide a unique perspective on the challenges of aging and social isolation.

We're also privileged to have Rustam Sengupta, the founder of Tuktu Care join us. Rustam will share his inspiration for creating Tuktu and discuss his unwavering mission to combat social isolation among older adults.
