About Yardi
Founded in 1984 by Anant Yardi, Yardi has established itself as a global leader in software solutions for the real estate and property management industries.
Headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, Yardi has expanded its operations worldwide, with offices and employees across the globe. The company's products are utilized by thousands of businesses, ranging from small property managers to large multinational corporations, making Yardi an indispensable partner in the real estate technology space.
A legacy of service
Anant Yardi's commitment to community service was ingrained in him from a young age.
Growing up in India, he witnessed his parents' dedication to volunteering and serving others, which became a core value in his life. Anant credits much of Yardi's success to the opportunities provided by the United States: he was welcomed as a student in the late 1960s, then he and his wife as immigrants in the 1970s, and – after launching Yardi Systems in the 1980s – as entrepreneurs through 40 years of significant technological change and innovation.

Energized for good
The Yardi Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Yardi, is dedicated to improving lives and strengthening communities.
Established with the mission of giving back, the Foundation focuses on initiatives that promote education and environmental sustainability, reduce homelessness, support humanitarian aid, and enhance overall community well-being in the cities where Yardi operates. Although Yardi's tradition of giving dates to the company's inception, it has become more public with its philanthropic efforts over the past decade.
