[Startup Bharat] As India gets election fever, this Jalandhar-based startup helps with ratings and reviews of your Netas
Serial entrepreneur and Wharton School graduate Pratham Mittal launched the Neta app to help citizens rate and review their leaders according to their performance.;
- Unlike movies, books and restaurants, places, apparel, cosmetics, or even a mop, there is no way we can check ‘ratings and reviews’ of our political leaders, or share good feedback or even complain.
- The app is built to make voters more informed about their political leaders, and express and share their feedback with ratings.
- Pratham says such ratings can be used not only by voters to make informed choices, but also by political parties to select the best candidates.
- The company has 4,000 publishers as clients, including The New York Times and The Guardian.“While running polls for outgrow, there were many instances where political leaders would suddenly become very responsible while a mass public poll was going on online.
- In terms of features, local issue trackers, manifesto trackers, online transparent party donation gateways, online voter registration, etc., are part of the plan,” he says.
