A colony app made for houses and plots, not towers
Most society apps are built for apartment towers, with one gate, a guard’s tablet and a manager. A colony of independent houses runs differently. Parivar is made for the way your colony actually works.
Where tower apps don’t fit
Six places where a colony of houses is different, and what Parivar does about each.
The gate
In a tower
One gate, a guard with a tablet, and a building manager.
In a colony of houses
Open lanes, sometimes more than one way in, and often no guard at night.
With Parivar
A paper poster with a QR code goes up at the gate. Guests scan it with their phone camera, with no app to download, and the family they are visiting is told. Late-night entries are marked for the committee to look at.
Homes and plots
In a tower
Neat flat numbers, one family in each.
In a colony of houses
Houses, empty plots, houses being built, two families in one house, and owners who live in another city.
With Parivar
Every house and plot is added from your layout plan, and we draw your colony map. Each house can be a home, a vacant plot or under construction.
Building work
In a tower
Rare, and handled by the builder.
In a colony of houses
There is almost always a house coming up somewhere, with workers going in and out.
With Parivar
The contractor adds the workers. The committee approves each one, so the colony knows who is on Plot 18 today.
Maintenance money
In a tower
A fixed bill, collected by a management company.
In a colony of houses
Collected by volunteers, by screenshots in the WhatsApp group, and noted in a register.
With Parivar
Families pay by UPI straight into the colony’s own bank account. The committee confirms, the receipt is made, and every family sees the monthly money report. Reminders go privately, only to houses that have not paid.
The committee
In a tower
A paid manager and an office.
In a colony of houses
Volunteers with jobs and families, doing it in the evenings.
With Parivar
No more matching payment screenshots against a register. New families, helper checks and payments wait in one short list.
The people
In a tower
Often young working couples.
In a colony of houses
Three generations, and many grandparents who mainly use WhatsApp and calls.
With Parivar
Big letters and plain words. It opens from a link on any phone, with nothing to download. Phone numbers stay private until the owner says yes.
Made in a real colony
Parivar was built in Indore, inside a colony of independent houses, and families there use it every day. Most of it started as a real problem in that colony’s WhatsApp group: whose guest is at the gate, who the new maid is, whether a payment came in.
The demo is free. We call you to fix a time, then show your committee, on a phone, how the gate, homes, maintenance and notices would work for a colony like yours.
No. Parivar opens from a link on any phone. Families can add it to their home screen if they like.
Do guests need the app at the gate?
No. Guests scan the gate poster with their phone camera. The family they are visiting is told.
Does Parivar handle our colony’s money?
No. Families pay by UPI straight into the colony’s own bank account. Parivar keeps the record, the receipts and the monthly report.
Can we add empty plots and houses being built?
Yes. Every house and plot in your layout plan is added, and each one can be a home, a vacant plot or under construction.
Are there ads?
No. Parivar shows no ads and does not sell your data.
What does it cost?
It depends on the number of houses in your colony. We tell you the price on the demo call.
How do we start?
Three steps. Send us your layout plan and we draw your colony map. Put up the gate poster, printed from the app. Share one link in your colony group, and families join from their own phones.
