About Us

WeCommunities is a brand of Vivaasv Infra Pvt. Ltd., a 5-year old Bengaluru-based company. Our experience spans multiple real-estate projects in different states of India. We operate via a small core team, with transparent and open and collaborative processes. We bring diverse knowledge and experience in design, engineering, construction, farming and legal domains.

We build and manage communities by bringing like-minded people together, with a strong emphasis on sustainable living. As human impact and climate change bring about humongous and seemingly insurmountable challenges, we urgently need to pause. Breathe. Think. Changes are possible. Deeper connections with the land can be forged. Living better is a sensible option.

OUR COLLECTIVES

What are the steps and complexities involved in setting up these Collectives? To address all these questions and also to share our learnings so far, we created this as a sort of a ready-reckoner.
