BANGALORE APPARTMENT FEDERATION

Bangalore Apartment Federation (BAF)

The Bangalore Apartment Federation (BAF) is a not-for-profit organization that serves as the collective voice of over 900 Apartment Owners’ Associations across Bengaluru. Established to safeguard the interests of apartments and resident welfare associations, BAF plays a pivotal role in civic engagement, policy advocacy, and building sustainable communities. Their flagship annual event, BAMBOOS, is a platform for dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing aimed at creating a better Bengaluru.
