Praja is a hyper-local social platform built for Bharath — where people instantly discover everything happening in their village, mandal, and district, in their own language.

Every user is mapped to their real geography and interest areas, enabling authentic village-level communities and interest communities that reflect how Bharath connects in the offline world. Today, citizens, local leaders, and political parties use Praja to share updates, create viral posters, run digital campaigns, and stay connected with their people.
