Dear Society

What Dear Society does

Dear Society is a Pune-based services and software firm founded in 2012 by Yuvraj Uttam Pawar, operating across Maharashtra to serve cooperative housing societies (CHS). The company combines legal and administrative professional services with a subscription-based technology platform, delivering society registration, deemed conveyance, apartment-to-CHS conversion, committee elections, bye-laws adoption, consumer court representation, training, and accounting/audit support. With five offices in Pune (Dhankawadi, Wakad, Moshi), Navi Mumbai (Kharghar), and Thane, plus a mobile app available on Android and iOS, Dear Society reports 500+ active societies, 1,000+ total clients, 200+ completed deemed conveyance cases, and 300+ society registrations, supported by 11–50 employees.

The proprietary technology stack centers on the Dear Society App and the Society Management ERP, which together provide accounts and payments, facility booking, broadcast notices, complaint management, visitor tracking, meeting management, members and tenants registers, a bye-laws appendix of pre-built templates (membership applications, affidavits, NOC formats, AGM/SGM notices, election forms), bill management, and member data management. The ERP is offered as One-Year and Two-Year premium subscription plans, and a Refer & Earn program is layered on top. The founder's 10-year tenure in the Maharashtra Assembly and direct contributions to amendments of the MCS Act 1960 and the Maharashtra Apartment Ownership Act 1970 are central to the company's regulatory positioning.

Dear Society monetizes through two channels: professional services engagements (quote-based pricing for registration, conveyance, elections, training, and accounting) and recurring software subscriptions (one- and two-year premium plans). Its go-to-market combines content marketing (English and Marathi blog, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, newsletter), direct sales via phone and WhatsApp, in-person branch consultation, schedule-a-demo web funnel, and self-serve mobile-app onboarding. The customer base is uniformly mid-market cooperative housing societies in Maharashtra, with no disclosed enterprise or institutional segment and no disclosed institutional funding.
