For technical partners
GroundTruth (working name). WhatsApp reports and our field app run today; drone surveys, IoT smart surfaces and vehicle-sensor data from automobile makers have been trialled. Next: computer vision that spots potholes and missing signs, risk scores for blackspots, and a digital twin that tests a junction’s design before it is built. We want to build these with partners in mapping, computer vision and AI for social good.
Every ride becomes a road survey. Vehicle sensors, IIT research and other sensor data build pothole and rough-road heat maps, checked against our 40,000+ fixed potholes. Companies can adopt at least 10 hot spots or one ward near their sites.
Impact you can audit. Baseline and endline studies, life-cycle analysis, and SDG and BRSR-ready data. Under Rule 8(3) of the CSR Policy Rules 2021, companies with an average CSR obligation of ₹10 crore or more must commission independent impact assessments for projects of ₹1 crore or more. An implementer cannot certify its own work, so our own programmes use independent assessors.
