About SWA Society

Building India's Most Advanced
Cooperative Housing Ecosystem

We are on a mission to modernise how cooperative housing societies in India run — replacing paper registers, WhatsApp chaos, and Excel spreadsheets with a single, secure, cloud-native platform built for the 21st century.

Our Story

Born from real society pain

SWA Society was born out of a simple frustration: managing a cooperative housing society in India in 2024 is still done with paper ledgers, WhatsApp groups, and manual Excel sheets. Committee members spend hours reconciling bills, chasing dues, and arguing over account books — time that could be spent building community.

We set out to change that. Our team of engineers, chartered accountants, and ex-committee members came together to build a platform that handles the boring parts of society management automatically — so committees can focus on what matters: making their society a better place to live.

Today, SWA Society powers billing, accounting, collections, resident communication, and compliance for 450+ cooperative housing societies across India — from 10-unit boutique CHS to enterprise groups managing hundreds of flats.

We are proud to be one of the few platforms in India that runs a true double-entry accounting system purpose-built for the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act — not a generic accounting software repurposed for societies.

Mission & Vision

Why we exist

Two statements that guide every decision we make — from what features to build, to how we price our product.

Our Mission

To make society management effortless for every committee member in India — regardless of technical skill or society size. We believe that running a society should take minutes a week, not hours a day, and should produce auditable, compliant records automatically.

Our Vision

A future where every cooperative housing society in India operates with the same financial transparency, efficiency, and audit-readiness as a large enterprise — powered by affordable, secure, cloud-native software. We're building the operating system for India's housing societies.

What We Stand For

Six values that shape us

Every feature we ship, every ticket we answer, and every rupee we charge is measured against these principles.

Security First

Bank-grade encryption, TLS 1.2+ traffic, bcrypt password hashing, and complete database-level isolation per society. No compromise.

Audit-Ready Always

True double-entry accounting, statutory registers, and full audit trails — formatted for Indian cooperative department filing.

Effortless by Design

If a committee member needs a manual to use it, we've failed. Every workflow is streamlined to be intuitive on first use.

Affordable for All

Pricing that starts free and scales gently. A 10-unit society pays less than a 200-unit society — never a flat enterprise fee.

Human Support

Every paid plan includes a real onboarding session. Email, phone, and WhatsApp support by people who understand societies.

Built for India

Designed around the Maharashtra Co-op Societies Act, Indian GST, TDS, UPI, and the way Indian societies actually run.

Our Journey

From frustration to 450+ societies

Milestones that shaped SWA Society into the platform it is today.

Early 2024

The Idea

After spending hours reconciling a Mumbai CHS's books by hand, our founders realised the problem was universal — and solvable with modern software.

Mid 2024

First Line of Code

We built the first version of the double-entry accounting engine, general ledger, and billing sessions. Tested extensively with three pilot societies.

Late 2024

Public Launch

SWA Society opened to all cooperative housing societies in India. First 50 societies onboarded within 90 days — all through word-of-mouth referrals.

Early 2025

Multi-Society SaaS

Launched subdomain-based multi-society architecture — each society gets isolated data, custom branding, and its own subdomain. Unlocked management companies as a customer segment.

Mid 2025

Payment Gateway Integration

Integrated Razorpay and Stripe for online UPI/card/net-banking payments. Residents could now pay maintenance directly from their portal, with instant reconciliation.

Today

450+ Societies Strong

We now power billing, accounting, collections, resident communication, helpdesk, and amenity booking for 450+ societies across 12 Indian states. And we're just getting started.
