クリエイティブの力で介護の現場を変えようとしている。

Manjot Bedi’s KAiGO PRiDE
is changing eldercare through the power of creativity.


Born and raised in New Delhi, India, Manjot S.Bedi moved to Japan at 17. After a career as a creative director making numerous commercials for a major advertising firm, he now runs his own company, focusing on branding and creative projects. Simultaneously, Bedi is passionately working to improve Japan’s elderly care.
He states, “Advertising is about solving problems. When I encountered the elderly care frontline, it was full of them. As an advertising professional, I felt I had to solve this.
His resolve was solidified by a visit to Ise Grand Shrine. Filming the Shikinen Sengu (periodic rebuilding), he felt a profound “gratitude” for Japan’s cultural heartland, which inspired him. Observing elderly care, however, left him unsettled. He felt that while we owe our existence to our elders and should only feel gratitude, this wasn’t reflected in the care system, where seniors even lacked a proper place.
Leveraging his skills, Bedi launched KAiGO PRiDE in 2019. He found that care workers lacked confidence, with some even hiding their profession.
This was a shock, but it revealed a crucial branding opportunity. KAiGO PRiDE began with the goal of instilling pride in care professionals, ensuring they receive the respect they deserve.
Mr.Bedi’s six years of dedicated work are creating a significant movement in Japanese elderly care. His organization photographs care workers to show them “how cool they are” and has enlisted 300 national ambassadors to spread KAiGO PRiDE’s message.
They host “KAiGO PRiDE WEEK,” an annual national event featuring lectures and discussions to invigorate the care community. The “International KAiGO Festival” is a business-focused event, presenting the “KAiGO DESIGN AWARD” for innovative products and services, and organizing “LiNK WALK” where care workers and seniors walk together.
Mr.Bedi sees a huge future in the “silver economy,” potentially reaching 100 trillion yen. He believes this growth can bring happiness to caregivers, care workers, and the entire sector. The “International KAiGO Festival” acts as a platform for startups and businesses to drive next-generation models and innovations. Bedi’s creativity is set to profoundly transform Japan’s elderly care and economy.
