OUR STORY
About Seedhi Baat
Seedhi Baat was built to solve a specific, stubborn problem: civic feedback in India almost never reaches the people who can act on it.
A voter in New Delhi spots a pothole outside their building. They post about it on WhatsApp. Their family agrees it's terrible. Nothing happens. Meanwhile, their Member of Parliament in the Lok Sabha is making infrastructure arguments in Parliament with zero data about what the people who elected them actually experience day to day.
The gap between voter expectation and MP accountability is not because MPs don't care — it's because the signal never travels. Complaints die in WhatsApp groups, dissolve into Twitter threads, or get lost in bureaucratic portals designed for computers, not the ₹8,000 Android phones that most of Bharat uses.
Seedhi Baat is the signal. Anonymous, aggregated, constituency-level civic data — delivered in the language the citizen speaks, on the device they already own, in 8 seconds.
MISSION
Make civic feedback as easy as sending a WhatsApp message — and make sure it reaches the people with the power to fix it.
How It Works
PRE-LAUNCH
Waitlist & Community Building
Seedhi Baat begins in each constituency with a waitlist. Citizens sign up, invite neighbours, and build the critical mass needed to make the data meaningful. A constituency with 5 members is anecdote; one with 500 is evidence.
PHASE 1
Feedback Collection
Once live, any citizen can file a civic complaint — a road, water, power, or sanitation issue — in under 8 seconds. Voice, photo, or text. In their language. Anonymously. Others in the same constituency can co-sign the complaint, amplifying it without revealing who they are. All data appears on the public leaderboard at sedhibaat.in/leaderboard.
PHASE 2
MP Notification (40+ members)
When a constituency reaches 40 active members, Seedhi Baat generates a monthly consolidated report for that constituency's MP. Top 5 civic issues. Trend data. Co-sign volume. No individual identities — ever. MPs get the signal they need to ask the right Parliamentary Questions and direct MPLADS funds.

Our Values
We believe civic participation should not require a smartphone upgrade, an English education, or the courage to put your name on a complaint. Seedhi Baat is built on the conviction that democratic accountability is strongest when it is accessible to everyone — from a farmer in rural Uttar Pradesh to a tech worker in Bengaluru.
