A viral video of a 64-year-old intern at a startup in Mumbai has reignited conversations around whether India needs to rethink retirement after the age of 60. The senior professional decided to join the company as an intern so he could remain active and share decades of industry experience with younger colleagues. The startup founder said it was one of the best decisions for the organisation, citing the intern’s valuable mentorship and contribution to workplace culture. The story has sparked a conversation about age diversity, lifelong learning and the need to keep experienced professionals in the workforce. Experts say with longer life spans and better health, retirement should be a matter of choice, not a fixed milestone, allowing seniors to keep making meaningful contributions to society and the economy.
