Detailed Description

The rise of e-commerce, increase in purchasing power in different income groups, and prioritization of convenience over consciousness among the Indian residents have caused a change in people’s attitude towards acquiring and using goods. Irrespective of the intensity of one’s need and expected frequency of use, people choose to buy/own over borrow/access. This report discusses the design decisions, details, and deployment of a community event aimed at creating a positive association to the practice of sharing and responsible consumption among residents of an Indian urban housing society and therebyreinventing and encouraging the borrowing, exchanging, and reselling of goods within the society. The event was hosted in a society with more than 80 families and was also intended to act as an outreach for the deployment of other frameworks for facilitating the practice of sharing within the society.
