Story behind the start-up
While staying in Ideal Colony in Kothrud, founder CA. S Lakshminarayanan’s building was going through the process of redevelopment in 2020. His society was given a feasibility of 40% to 45% additional area by various Developers. Being a CA with an inquisitive bent of mind, he researched and arrived at a Math of the figure.
Upon a deep dive into the relevant regulations, he was able to put up a mathematical model to compute the additional area that could be demanded, based on the regulations. Post this exercise, the offer from the Developer turned out to be more than 75 % which was highest in the area. Word of mouth spread and post receipt of a lot of requests for guidance from adjoining societies in the area, the idea of Starting up a venture for catering to this space was conceived by him and Dreamsredeveloped.com was born with an intent to help Societies find all the Answers, Vendors and Developers under one roof.
