“Aavaas” is a Sanskrit word which denotes “home”.

Why we chose this name?

आवास

Many reasons prompted us to choose this name. We wanted to have a simple yet effective name to convey the central theme of this site - “home”.

It sounded a bit odd initially, and we got calls from many people that they are not able to connect it with anything at all. We had to tell them the root of the word “aavaasa” which meant home in Sanskrit.

Aavaas was started with one purpose - To raise the standards on Indian homes. Today there exists a huge gap between a comfortable home and reality. Our take is that the four walls and ceiling just make the house. What turns it into a home is the character of people occupying it.

“A house is made of walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams.”

It is hardly enough if we find a good location for our house. Most of the effort in terms of making it livable comes afterwards. We are sure most of us have had experiences that we might want to share with others on this front, so that the community as a whole benefits.
