About "ADDA"

ADDA(pronounced "Uhd'da")

In South Asian languages, ADDA means a community gathering — a friendly or intellectual discussion. That's the spirit we bring to every apartment community we serve.

Our Story
"It takes a village to raise a child."

— African Proverb

In our urban cities, apartment communities are those villages — a piece of land where tens or hundreds of families live a harmonious life.

A child always has a playmate, every festival is celebrated by all, challenges of daily life are faced together as neighbors — bound by the strong glue of shared common wealth.

The apartment community is also a registered organisation — collecting common funds, paying vendors and taxes, building new infrastructure, handling disputes internal and external.

The biggest difference is its leaders — owners elected to the Managing Committee. They place processes, evaluate expenses, learn new skills (even accounting!) and execute projects for common welfare without selfish gains. We believe in their courage, and their drive to build that dream neighborhood.

It is for these Apartment Residents and their Managing Committees that Team ADDA dedicates our life's work — weaving together Communication, Facility Management, Security and Accounting in one elegant product.

Started in 2009, we've been relentlessly bringing communities together. Our motto is Rise High, and every ADDAite imbibes the values of Integrity, Excellence and Collaboration.

Built for the 3 stakeholders of every community.

We stay keenly responsive to their varied needs — empowering them to build and live in well-run communities.

The Community Manager

YOU — the catalyst behind every thriving community

Amidst the extreme variety of issues and challenges, you keep it all together with daily creativity and commitment. Often inundated with incessant emails and calls, you yearn for greater impact — time for learning, revamping, exciting initiatives. That's where we step in.

We're here to find YOU more time for projects that have greater impact.

The Board Member

YOU — the natural leader and champion of collaboration

Often your rich experience and potentially impactful time is wasted supervising daily operations and re-inventing the wheel of day-to-day processes.

We help set that wheel on best-practice processes with on-demand reports — so you focus and lead the real change.

The Resident

YOU — invested in this community as your home

The place to grow your family, entertain friends, nurture your interests. Yet amid scattered information, staying up-to-date becomes elusive. The FOMO on community updates is very real.

ONE go-to platform to stay connected with your community — with ease.

Our Values

I · C · E 🧊

These values are so epic that they even have their own acronym — ICE! So, whether it's choosing the high road, teaming up like legends, or making the everyday legendary, these ICE values are like the secret sauce that makes ADDA a happy community.

Builder builds the High Rise. Community makes it Rise High.
Our Motto

Rise High!

The builder constructs the high-rise — but it's the community that takes it to soaring heights together.

It's not just about high-rises; it's about rising high in every sense — building, community and beyond.
