President of La Grove Owners’ Association

 
Entrance Park of Chaithanya La Grove, Whitefield, Bangalore – 560037

We lived in a beautiful residential community in Whitefield Bangalore called ‘Chaitanya La Grove’ (LGOA) from Oct-2017 to May-2022. I was the president of the La Grove home Owners Association (LGOA) from October 2017 to April 2019. Accomplishments:

  • Renegotiated the SLA with the security agency, changed the old guards, and got new uniforms.
  •  Survey among all owners to decide on building a clubhouse and sponsor it on our own.
  • The clubhouse was finally built in Oct-2020 (see below inauguration photos) after my spouse Kanika Radhakrishnan, who became the President after me, fought legal issues in a court of law and overcame objections from some owners. This is definitely a gift from us to the community.
  • Got online bank accounts at SBI for all the garden and house cleaning staff.
  • Auto deposit of Salary and PF deduction into their respective accounts accounts
  • Got all of them accidental and health insurance. This and the entrance to the community, a nice water fountain surrounded by plants also saw fruition during Kanika’s tenure.
  • Celebrated all the festivals, one per month during my tenure.
  • In one of my previous terms from 2008-2010, I was the Treasurer of the association.
