SPOC Collective presents
A multi-generational community taking shape in the Sahyadri hills between Pune and Lonavala — built by choice, with structure, not just nostalgia.
01 The film
A short film that walks you through the idea, the land, and the life we're building — in its own voice, unhurried.
02 What Saanjha Ghar is
Somewhere between the joint family many of us grew up in and the apartment we live in now, something quietly disappeared. Parents raise children without grandparents close by. Grandparents grow old without daily company. The friendships that once lived on the same street now live mostly on a phone screen.
We don't think anyone planned it this way — it's what happens when cities, careers and convenience are optimised for, one decision at a time, without anyone designing for togetherness. So we started with a simpler, harder question: what would it actually take to build one shared home where different generations, and different families, could live near each other again — by choice, with structure, not just nostalgia?
Saanjha Ghar is a multi-generational, values-aligned community we're building in the Sahyadri foothills between Pune and Lonavala — close enough for a weekend, far enough to breathe. It isn't a housing project you invest in and exit. It's a lifelong membership in a shared home — families living on shared land, growing a portion of their own food, sharing responsibility for the place and for each other. Every resident holds a real responsibility to the community, and once it's real, we intend to open-source what we learn so others can build their own version of it.
Held and stewarded by the community, not divided into private plots.
~1 hour from Kaivalyadhama, ~2 hours from an international airport.
A home to belong to, not an asset to buy and resell.
Multi-faith, multi-generational, and self-governed by shared agreement.
Mornings on the farm, evenings on the courts, and everything from fitness to art held in common — this is what an ordinary week is meant to feel like.
The food on the table comes from the ground it stands on.
A pool for laps, laughter, and reading in the shade.
Where grandparents and grandchildren paint side by side.
One badminton court, three generations, no spectators sitting out for long.
Guided fitness and wellness support, at every age and ability.
A community kitchen, gardens and a gaushala at the centre of daily life.
