We’re all living longer, but how do we constructively utilise these extra years? Neeraj Sagar, Founder & CEO of WisdomCircle, which is building a post-retirement work marketplace, talks about creating space for retirees in corporate systems, the value of intergenerational teams, and the “price per unit of wisdom”.Currently at over 100,000 registrations, with 2,500 white-collar jobs from nearly 300 companies on his portal, he believes it has barely scratched the surface. The idea for WisdomCircle came to Neeraj during the pandemic after he quit his corporate job as he turned 50. He is now an active part of a thriving community that is creating solutions for the senior segment, where the 60+ population is poised to grow to a staggering 300 million by 2050.Organisations, he believes, must tap into the wisdom of an experienced talent pool that wants to give back and can help youngsters grow faster. In return, they need to feel respected and relevant. Companies can also help their retiring workforce ease into becoming mentors from doers, taking on the role of educators or specialists. He is also a Global Ambassador for the Stanford Center on Longevity.
