How India Lives

A one-source stop on public data, starting from India and later covering the world. What is How India Lives? How India Lives is an Internet-based application that aims to organise a massive amount of public data on India, and make it available in a searchable, comparable and visual format. The idea is to offer something of value to everyone who uses public data, be it for decision-making—like the company executive, the government official, the researcher—or for information-seeking. Who is this useful for? Everyone. Especially company executives, researchers, government officials and students. For example, a company executive can use it to plan a regional expansion or map a distribution network. A government policymaker can use it to figure out the geographical targeting of a new welfare scheme. A researcher can use it to compare geographies on multiple counts. A layperson can use it to seek several pieces of information about any geography in India.
