What IKS Thematic Living Homes (iks.homes) is built around

Each capability is marked for what it does today.

Live

Residences, rooms and beds in one tree

Every residence, floor, room and bed nests in one tree on Ojas Space OS, with the code painted on the door kept on the place itself.

Live

Beds that cannot be promised twice

The database itself refuses a second booking of the same bed on the same day, so it holds even when two people book at once.

Live

Resident terms and deposits

A resident's term against a bed or a flat, with the security deposit held in double-entry books and written back when it is released.

Not started

Campuses laid out on the maṇḍala

The residences are meant to be laid out on the 81-pada Vāstu Puruṣa Maṇḍala around an open central court. The first campus is not started yet.

What works, and what to plan around

Each list is checked against the running product.

What works

  • Residences, rooms and beds in one tree, on Ojas Space OS

The businesses we run, and the one thing they all sell through

Selling sits at the centre — the shop, the orders, the payments and the books. Every business we run sells through that same middle, which is why one sign-in carries your account, your team and your data across all of them.
