Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], August 4: There was a time, not very long ago, when moving into a gated society in India meant filling out a paper register at the gate every time a guest arrived. Security guards would call up to each flat individually to approve visitors. Deliveries would pile up at the entrance. And with e-commerce and quick commerce growing the way it has, the volume of approvals only kept increasing. The average society, typically home to 200-250 flats, today receives upwards of 500 entries a day,and managing that at a manual gate was becoming impossible. Maintenance complaints were raised on WhatsApp groups and forgotten. The society was physically gated but operationally chaotic.
