About India Wants

India Wants is the National Pulse of India

A neutral, verified platform where every Indian can raise, vote on, and track the demands that shape the nation.

Our Mission

We believe every Indian citizen deserves a platform where their voice shapes national policy — not just once every five years, but every single day.

How It Works

Four steps from idea to impact.

1

Raise a Demand

Any verified citizen can propose a national or local demand — from clean air to better roads.

2

Vote & Prioritise

India votes. Verified votes carry full weight; Priority Votes count 5× — making preference visible.

3

Rise to Top 100

Our weighted algorithm surfaces the most-supported demands across states, ages, and categories.

4

Drive Response

Verified organisations and representatives respond publicly. Citizens track follow-through.
