“I'm a solo developer from Karnataka who believes government data should be free and accessible to every citizen — not buried in PDF reports and broken portals. I built ForThePeople.in entirely by myself: every scraper, every API, every dashboard, every line of code.
This is not a startup. This is not for profit. This is a citizen initiative under India's Open Data Policy (NDSAP). Running this already costs more than ₹12 lakh a year — and I cover it myself.
Every rupee you contribute goes directly to infrastructure — keeping the servers running, the data fresh, and helping me expand to more districts faster. This is my way of building India — one district at a time.”

It pays for one day of scraping data for a district — weather updates, crop prices, dam levels, and 26 more data streams. Free for every citizen in that district.
