About Avalidam
What does Avalidam mean?
"Her place" in Malayalam: aval (she) + idam (place).
Is it free?
Yes. Searching, chatting and requesting visits are free for women, and always will be.
Who can use Avalidam?
Women looking for a PG or a flatmate, and women with a room to share. PG owners can list a ladies' PG after an ID check and our safety visit.
Can men use it?
No. Only women can search, chat with other members or post rooms.
Which cities do you cover?
We're starting in Kozhikode, Ernakulam and Thiruvananthapuram. More cities in Kerala will follow.
When does the app launch?
We're building it now. Sign up for early access and you'll be the first to know.
Safety and your data
Why do you need my ID?
To make sure everyone you talk to is a real woman. We use DigiLocker, only with your consent.
Do you store my Aadhaar?
No. We never store your full Aadhaar number or copies of your ID documents. We keep only the result of the check, plus the details the check returns, such as your name, gender and photo.
Why do you ask for my work email or college ID?
So other women know you really work or study where you say. It helps you find people from your own office or college first.
What happens when I report someone?
Our team reviews every report. Serious reports pause the account or listing within 24 hours while we look into it.
What does the Verified Safe badge mean?
Our team visited the PG in person and checked CCTV at entrances, a visitor log, a female warden or manager, real photos and clear rules.
For PG owners
Does it cost anything?
The safety visit and listing are free while we launch. We'll tell you about any paid plans well in advance.
Who will contact me?
Only verified women looking for a place, through in-app chat.
Can I list a mixed or men's PG?
No. Avalidam is only for ladies' PGs and women's shared flats.
What if my PG doesn't pass the check?
We'll tell you what's missing. You can fix it and request another visit.
