While India generates vast amounts of open data — from pollution levels to UPI transactions — most citizens and even small businesses struggle to access and interpret this data.
Existing dashboards are complex, non-interactive, and often English-only.
Goal:
Build a data intelligence layer over India Stack that makes public data accessible, visual, multilingual, and queryable by anyone — empowering India’s next billion users.
✅ Natural-language Q&A — “Compare air pollution in Delhi vs Karnataka over 5 years”
✅ AI-generated charts, maps & summaries
✅ Multi-language support (starting with English, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil)
✅ India-wide datasets: demography, health, economy, crime, infrastructure
✅ Realtime integration with India Stack APIs
✅ Optimized for accessibility & mobile-first design
