Company Summary

We are a research lab working at the intersection of data, technology, design, and social science to strengthen the course of civic engagements in India. We work to harness the potential of open knowledge movements and better enable citizens to engage in matters of public reform. We aim to grow the data and tech capacity of governments, non-profits, think-tanks, media houses, universities, and more to enable data-driven decision-making at scale. At CivicDataLab, we exercise openness as core to our work and encourage our partners to collaborate openly as well. We are committed to sharing our learnings and failures to grow together.



We believe that our world can become a much better place if we start thinking and working openly. CivicDataLab is a nonprofit organization in India that works at the intersection of data, technology, and public policy. Their goal is to make governance more effective by using data-driven insights and digital tools. They collaborate with government bodies, nonprofits, and research organizations to build data platforms, dashboards, and analytical solutions that help in better decision-making. Their work focuses on areas like public finance, climate, health, and urban development. CivicDataLab also promotes open data and open-source solutions, making complex public data more accessible, transparent, and useful for citizens, researchers, and policymakers. Civic-tech is challenging and requires a lot of social and technical experimentation, where mistakes are bound to happen, but being patient and calm towards situations is what we value. We believe that mistakes are as serious as any other resource we acquire as a team, and indeed they help us get better, wiser, and kinder. Dealing with complex social issues can sometimes become a bit overwhelming. We believe that having fun activities like hanging out, playing games, eating food,



and travelling together not only helps us get to know each other better but also motivates and reduces stress. We keep finding innovative ways to engage and bond together.

Why Join Us We know that finding a meaningful and rewarding job can be a long journey. Our goal is to make that process as easy as possible for you, and to create a work environment that's satisfying - one where you'll look forward to coming to every day. We also feel that this is our biggest strength, what we can offer you is not a feature to work on but a passage to an infinitely long road of people, problems, ideas and opportunities that may help you find your place amidst the chaos.
