PG Saathi

◆ For Paying Guest owners in Ahmedabad ◆

Open dealings — no subscription, no hidden margin

Amdavadi vyaapaar runs on transparent pricing — you see the margin, you decide. PG Saathi inherits that. Every paisa we earn from your account is in a public ledger.

Wallet

Top up via UPI when you need. Credits debit per action — paid templates ₹0.50, KYC ₹149. CSW + cash payments + receipts free.

Vendors

Curated B2B partners (laundry, broadband, RO, mattresses, Jain tiffin). Same pricing as direct. PG Saathi earns the rev-share from the vendor — owner pays nothing extra.

Insurance

3 policies via licensed broker partners (Turtlemint, Riskcovry, ACKO). Owner pays the broker site rate. PG Saathi referral fee disclosed inline.

No auto-renew. No tiers. No annual lock-in. Cancel = stop using = stop paying. Unused wallet balance refunds back to your UPI on account close.

GST 0% (Taghar)

Contracts ≥ 90 days. Rent ≤ ₹20,000/month. No food bundling. The bot warns on every breach.

◆ How it works ◆

From paper ledger to running PG in one afternoon

  1. 1

    Message the bot on WhatsApp

    Just send «start» or any message. The bot will ask for your PG name, area, bed count and UPI ID. Five questions, under three minutes.

  2. 2

    Import tenants from your notebook

    Send `import ledger`. The bot replies with a secure link. Photograph your pages, AI extracts records, you confirm.

  3. 3

    Invite a manager and start working

    Collect cash with `cash B2 7500`. Verify UPI payments with `verify`. Chase overdue with `remind all`. Manager has limited rights.

  4. 4

    Reports & compliance run themselves

    On the 1st of every month: invoices generated. Daily: NOC + GST safety check. On demand: `report month`, `compliance`.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need WhatsApp Business?
No — regular WhatsApp works. However WhatsApp Business gives you a verified green tick which builds tenant trust. Both work identically with PG Saathi.
Where is my data stored?
All data is stored on servers in Mumbai, India (AWS ap-south-1). We never send your tenants' personal data outside India — compliant with DPDP Act 2023.
What if Meta blocks my WhatsApp number?
Your data is always accessible via the PWA dashboard. We'll help you reconnect a new number — the database is yours, not tied to any phone number.
How do I migrate from Excel/paper?
Use the 'Import Ledger' feature — take a photo of your register and our AI reads it. Or use 'add Ramesh A1 8000' to add tenants one by one — takes 30 seconds per tenant.
Is it free?
Yes — there's no monthly subscription. You pay only per action (₹0.50 per reminder, ₹30 per KYC check). Most PGs spend under ₹100/month.
