(01)The challenge

Citizens had no simple way to report everyday civic problems, get them to the right department, or see whether anything happened next.

What the product includes

  • A six-step report flow with photos, short video, and voice typing in Tamil or English
  • Locations matched to the official district, taluk, and village so complaints reach the right office
  • Status tracking with a notification at every step, and reopening when a fix doesn't hold
  • AI that flags dangerous reports as urgent, plus one-tap SOS for emergencies
  • Joining an existing nearby complaint instead of filing a duplicate
  • Public progress with private identities, and a live district map on the website
