Ten years of deep cultivation

Contributing to the sustainable development of Nanjing's eldercare market.

In 2013, the "First Year of Elderly Care Industry Development," the State Council of China issued the "Several Opinions on Accelerating the Development of the Elderly Care Service Industry," marking the official start of an accelerated expansion of the elderly care market in China. In rapidly developing cities, elderly care is not only a major social issue but also a major industry. As the aging population increases, the market demands higher standards for elderly care services in Nanjing, while also providing vast opportunities for the growth of the elderly care industry

Against the backdrop of high demand and vast potential in the social and policy environment, in 2013, Mr. Gao Tianli, who was then the CEO of the Asia Pacific region for the French elderly care brand Obot, introduced foreign care models to Nanjing. He spearheaded the establishment of the Nanjing Obot Xianlin International Elderly Care Center, which effectively contributed to the development of the elderly care market in Nanjing. Later, he also served as the Deputy CEO of Pacific Obot, where he was involved in the planning, design, and operational preparation of several TaiBao Elderly Care Centers across the country.

Starting in 2021, Mr. Gao Tianli officially assumed the role of Managing Director of the elderly care business under Singaporean multinational company Keppel. With over a decade of experience in the elderly care industry, he has led Keppel to explore development opportunities in China's elderly care services sector in greater depth.

Mr. Gao Tianli emphasized that Sindora’s entry into the Chinese elderly care market, with Nanjing as the first stop, marks an important milestone.

As one of the most developed cities in the Yangtze River Delta, Nanjing has a relatively high degree of aging. With the continuous economic development, there is an increasing focus on the social lives and mental well-being of the elderly, as well as a growing demand for enhancing physical and mental health through comprehensive care. Sindora has excellent operational capabilities and experience in the elderly care sector. We have incorporated the successful experiences of our parent company, Keppel Group from Singapore, in quality control systems, green architecture, and smart operations into our facilities. We aim to create a Singapore Garden City-like living environment for seniors. Sindora’s multidisciplinary team empowers seniors across nine key dimensions, creating an immersive living paradise that allows seniors of various ages and physical conditions to find their own joy in life and enjoy a high-quality, green living experience at our facilities.
