At 55, when you asked “What next?”, we heard you. When you shared your dreams, your wisdom, your hunger to keep growing, we listened. And when you trusted us to be part of your extraordinary second innings, we knew we had a responsibility that goes far beyond just another website, or a company.
This is why we want to share with you exactly how we’re building Meru Life – not just as a business, but as a community that honours your experience, protects your wellbeing, and celebrates every single story of active seniors like yourself, living your best lives.
Your safety is our North Star metric.
Every piece of content, every story, every recommendation goes through multiple checks and verifications before reaching you. The primary question we ask: Is the information accurate?
And then, we also ensure to ask:
Does it enable you to live an even more active, connected, or purposeful life?
Does this add value to your life? Even if it’s a tiny aspect.
Is it worthy of your time?
Does the story inspire you to do more?
Does it add meaning to your day?
If the answer isn’t a resounding yes, the content doesn’t reach you.
Currently, we work with some Subject Matter Experts (and the support of technology) to create, curate, verify and publish what we do.
We use AI, but not at the expense of verified, valuable information.
In this digital age, we believe technology should augment human potential, not replace it.
We use various AI tools to help us organise and curate more efficiently. However, we know technology could have its off days. And thus every single piece of content that reaches you is reviewed, verified, and approved by real humans who understand the nuances of your journey.
AI tools act as our research assistants, but the final decision, the human touch, and the understanding of what truly resonates with someone in your phase of life is with us – people who are walking this path alongside you.
In short, we use AI and technology sparingly and thoughtfully.
Your voice matters to us.
If you ever come across content that doesn’t sit right with you – whether it’s a story that feels off, information that seems questionable, or simply something that doesn’t align with your values – please don’t hesitate to write to us. We don’t just welcome this feedback; we depend on it.
You may write directly to our CEO & Co-Founder, Mihir, at mihir@merulife.com. You may also write to Saurabh, another co-founder, at saurabh@merulife.com. PS: This piece has been written by Saurabh (with the help of AI tools).
You may also use this page to contact us anonymously.
Your perspective helps us build a better platform for everyone. When you tell us something doesn’t feel right, we listen. When you point out that a story could be improved, we act. And if you feel strongly that something should be removed, we will take that seriously.
This isn’t about being politically correct or walking on eggshells – it’s about creating a space that we build with you and where you feel respected, valued, and heard.
Finally, we want to hear your stories too.
Every piece of content we share, every story we tell, every connection we facilitate has one purpose: to showcase the richness of life after 55. Each of these allows us to build a library of stories that confirm – your best chapters are still ahead of you!
Our metric for choosing these stories is simple. These aren’t feel-good stories for the sake of feeling good – they’re real examples of real people who refused to let age define their limits. People who started businesses, learned languages, travelled solo, fell in love, made art, served communities, mentored others, and discovered parts of themselves they never knew existed.
We share these stories because they matter. Because they counter every limiting belief society tries to impose about ageing. Because they celebrate the truth we see every day: that experience isn’t something that slows you down – it’s something that enables you forward with clarity, purpose, and unstoppable momentum.
While we’re passionate about finding and sharing inspiring stories of active seniors, we know that some of the most powerful stories are the ones that haven’t been told yet – yours.
And we want to hear from you. If you’ve discovered a new passion, started a venture, learned a skill, made a difference, or simply found joy in unexpected places, we want to hear from you.
Write to us.
Share your experiences.
Tell us about the moments that took your breath away, the challenges that made you stronger, the discoveries that surprised you.
Finally, our commitment to you is that of trust.
Like I said earlier, as we build Meru Life, we make this promise: your safety will be our North Star metric, and we will continue to approach every piece of content with the due diligence required.
We are eager to listen to your feedback and evolve based on what you tell us. Or what you need. We want to be THE MOST TRUSTworthy companion that you’ve had and each action at Meru Life is guided and inspired by that.
My team and I look forward to serving you. Thank you for reading.
Gratitude and Regards,
Mihir, Saurabh and the entire Team Meru
