2025 Society Living Survey – What RWAs Really Want

  Inside India’s Societies: What RWAs Want in 2025 — and What Residents Expect!! Gated communities have come a long way in the last decade. What used to be simple blocks with a watchman at the gate have now evolved into vibrant, self-managed ecosystems — with RWAs (Residents' Welfare Associations) at the helm. These committees manage budgets worth lakhs (sometimes crores), take critical safety and facility decisions, and often act as the bridge between residents, vendors, and local governance. But what do today’s RWAs really need? What are their biggest challenges? And more importantly, what are residents expecting from them? We gathered insights from housing societies across India — and here’s a snapshot of what the 2025 RWA Living Survey reveals. 🔍 Survey Methodology at a Glance Survey Period: Jan–March 2025 Participants: 350+ RWAs across 8 Indian cities Resident Inputs: Over 1,000 residents through in-app polls Property Types: Mix of cooperative societies...

  The Ultimate Guide to Digital Transformation for RWAs From Paper Registers to Digital Dashboards: The RWA’s Road to Transformation. The job of a Residents’ Welfare Association (RWA) is one of the most underappreciated in urban life — and yet, it’s absolutely essential. Every day, RWA members handle billing, complaints, security concerns, staff supervision, notices, maintenance, facility bookings, and resident feedback. And often, this is done by volunteers with full-time jobs and limited tools. It’s a big responsibility — but it doesn’t have to be an overwhelming one. With the right tools, RWAs can go from reactive to proactive, from paper-heavy to paperless, from chaotic to completely in control . Welcome to the era of Digital Transformation for RWAs — and this is your ultimate guide to making it happen. Why Digital Transformation Isn’t a Trend — It’s a Necessity. Let’s be honest — most RWAs still rely on: ·         Excel sheets for dues tracki...

I Used to Dread Society Living… Until OhhPro Junction Changed Everything

  I Used to Dread Society Living… Until OhhPro Junction Changed Everything There was a time I used to avoid living in gated societies. Too many rules. Too much confusion. Too many WhatsApp complaints that led nowhere. Ø   Security was just a man with a register. Ø    Maintenance fees were a guessing game. Ø    And the gym was always mysteriously "under maintenance." It felt like no one really knew what was happening — not the residents, not the guards, and definitely not the management committee. Until one day, I stepped into a society that had OhhPro Junction . And within a few minutes… I knew this was different. 🚪 The Front Gate Was My First Surprise There was no shouting of flat numbers. No scribbling on loose paper. Instead, the guard had a walkie-talkie and a phone screen showing the visitor list.  When I entered my friend’s flat number, a soft ping went to her phone. She tapped "Allow" — and I was in.  Just like that. No awkward waiting....

OhhPro Junction: From Struggles to Systems—A Journey Still in Progress

Image
  "Started in 2019. Still not finished. And that’s the beauty of it." When we started OhhPro Junction in 2019, we weren’t born into a viral moment. We didn’t have a unicorn tag. We weren’t an overnight success story with millions pouring in or headlines shouting our name. We were, quite simply, a dream turned into code. A team of passionate application developers who believed that "gated communities deserve better living—more secure, more automated, and more connected." Much like the Royal Challengers Bengaluru , who waited 18 years to lift a trophy, OhhPro Junction has been a long innings filled with tight overs, learning curves, and breakthroughs—without a grand victory lap (yet). But the game? It’s still on. And we’re building for that ultimate win. The Early Overs: Building Basics (2019–2020) In our first year, the goal was simple: solve real problems for residential societies. We started with a visitor management solution —tracking maids, cabs, and deliver...
