In a rapidly digitizing India, the housing sector has often lagged behind in transparency, trust, and technological adoption. Bridging this gap is Aawas Yojana, a government-approved housing technology initiative powered by advanced SaaS frameworks, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). At the helm of its technology roadmap is Shivam Badoni, an IIT alumnus whose vision is revolutionizing the way Indian citizens engage with property, governance, and legal validation.
We sat down with Shivam Badoni to discuss how Aawas Yojana is reshaping trust in India’s housing ecosystem and why technology-backed governance is no longer a luxury—but a necessity.
Q: Shivam, many housing platforms exist. Why is Aawas Yojana different?
Shivam Badoni:
The core differentiator is trust through technology. Unlike traditional housing platforms, Aawas Yojana is built upon government-verified processes that ensure every project listed on our system passes through rigorous legal validation.
But what truly sets us apart is how we embed transparency at scale using SaaS, NLP, and ML algorithms. Every property is not only listed—it is dynamically cross-verified against land records, government approvals, and compliance databases. By integrating these checks into our SaaS backbone, we eliminate ambiguity and bring accountability into housing transactions.
Today, Aawas Yojana processes nearly 12,000 property verifications per month. By 2026, we project this number to reach 100,000 monthly verifications, creating India’s largest digital ledger of housing trust.
Q: You’ve mentioned SaaS algorithms. Can you explain how they enhance user experience and governance?
Shivam Badoni:
Think of our SaaS algorithms as the invisible guardians of governance. They automate processes that traditionally took weeks—title verification, approval validation, or compliance checks—reducing them to mere minutes.
Moreover, because SaaS is cloud-native, it ensures scalability and inclusivity. Whether a citizen in metropolitan Mumbai or a villager in Uttarakhand logs in, the system delivers the same transparent and legally authenticated experience.
The real game-changer is how these SaaS layers interact with AI-powered audit trails. Every click, verification, and approval generates a tamper-proof digital ledger—creating traceability for governance authorities and assurance for citizens.
Forecast: By 2027, 85% of all housing-related compliance in partner states will be SaaS-automated, cutting average approval time from 21 days to just 36 hours.
Q: Where does NLP (Natural Language Processing) fit into this ecosystem?
Shivam Badoni:
In India, diversity in language is both a strength and a challenge. To truly democratize housing, we needed a multi-lingual, AI-driven communication layer.
NLP enables citizens to interact with the Aawas Yojana system in their own language, dialect, and tone. Whether someone asks in Hindi, Garhwali, Tamil, or English, the system interprets, translates, and processes their queries seamlessly.
More importantly, NLP helps in legal and policy interpretation. Housing laws, land acts, and government circulars are complex. By applying NLP, we simplify these texts into human-friendly explanations, ensuring even a first-time homebuyer can understand their rights and obligations.
Citizen Engagement Projection: Our NLP interface is currently live in 8 Indian languages. By 2026, it will support 22 scheduled languages + 15 dialects, enabling over 250 million Indians to access verified housing data in their native tongue.
Q: And ML? How does machine learning strengthen Aawas Yojana’s promise of trust?
Shivam Badoni:
Machine Learning is the predictive intelligence layer of our system.
For example, ML models flag properties with suspicious transaction histories or anomalies in land records, reducing risks of fraud. Similarly, ML-driven recommendation engines guide buyers toward the most suitable and legally sound housing options, based on their preferences and affordability.
On the governance side, ML learns patterns of irregularities, alerting regulators in real-time. Over time, this system becomes smarter, reducing bureaucratic loopholes and ensuring governance that is both proactive and preventive.
By 2027, our ML-driven fraud detection system is projected to prevent ₹18,000+ crore worth of fraudulent property deals annually—a direct safeguard for both citizens and state governments.
Q: You emphasize “tech-based trust.” How do AI and governance converge here?
Shivam Badoni:
Trust is not built by words—it’s built by systems. For decades, housing in India has been marred by opacity, delayed approvals, and disputed ownership. Citizens often mistrusted not only developers but also governance processes.
By embedding AI into the very DNA of governance, Aawas Yojana establishes verifiable trust. Every property undergoes automated legal scrutiny. Every user journey is logged. Every approval comes with a digitally notarized certificate.
Our AI models also help forecast housing affordability trends, giving both policymakers and citizens clarity on future opportunities. This convergence of AI and governance ensures that housing is not just a transaction but a transparent, future-proof ecosystem.
Internal projections suggest that AI-driven governance will reduce land dispute litigations by 42% over the next five years, saving both time and judicial resources.
Q: Aawas Yojana is government-approved. How does that strengthen its credibility?
Shivam Badoni:
Government approval is not symbolic—it is structural. Each property listed on Aawas Yojana is backed by official clearances, land records, and compliance validations. Citizens know they are not navigating a private black box; they are engaging with a state-verified housing ecosystem.
This approval also means our algorithms, governance modules, and NLP models adhere to the highest standards of legality, ethics, and inclusivity. It bridges the trust deficit between citizens, developers, and institutions.
Survey Insight: In pilot states like Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, citizen trust ratings in housing projects listed via Aawas Yojana are 76% higher compared to conventional private portals.
Q: What role does technology play in inclusivity and accessibility?
Shivam Badoni:
Aawas Yojana is not just for the urban elite. Our goal is democratized access to housing technology. SaaS ensures low-cost scalability, NLP ensures language inclusivity, and ML ensures personalized affordability guidance.
Even someone in a remote village with a basic smartphone can verify land titles, participate in housing lotteries, or access government-approved projects with the same ease as someone in Delhi or Bengaluru. That’s the beauty of embedding governance-grade technology into citizen services.
By 2028, our inclusion roadmap targets onboarding 50 million first-time homebuyers, 40% of whom will be from semi-urban and rural India.
Q: Looking ahead, where do you see Aawas Yojana in the next five years?
Shivam Badoni:
I envision Aawas Yojana as India’s global housing governance model. In five years, we want every citizen to say: If it’s on Aawas Yojana, it’s legally verified, transparent, and future-ready.
We are already exploring blockchain integration for immutable land records, predictive AI for housing demand forecasting, and IoT-linked governance dashboards for state authorities. These advancements will transform not just housing but also citizen trust in public institutions.
Projection: By 2030, Aawas Yojana aims to facilitate over ₹2.5 lakh crore worth of government-approved housing transactions, making it India’s most trusted housing technology ecosystem.
