Where we are
One block, live. A district, mapped.
We publish only what is running on the ground. Mapping a district is cheap and we did it early across all 20 blocks of Nalanda; serving one takes local drivers and shops in place, so we open it a block and a village at a time, on purpose.
Three answers, and the middle one is real
Live
Harnaut block, Nalanda district, Bihar. A driver, shops and a route all exist, and an order placed here arrives.
Mapped
The rest of Nalanda — the other 19 blocks, 229 panchayats, 900 km of road held. The system knows where your village is and how to reach it. Nobody is delivering there yet.
Everywhere else
We have not been there. The app still installs and still works — registering your village is counted, and the block where the most households ask is the block that opens next.
How a block opens
- 01
Households ask
Counted against the government's own directory, so a block cannot be missed because six families spelt it six ways.
- 02
A driver is found who lives there
Not somebody sent in. The whole thing works because the person at the door is from the panchayat at the door.
- 03
Shops at the block market come on
Two or three are enough to start. They need no catalogue, so a shop can be ready the day somebody sits with them.
- 04
We come and onboard by hand
Village by village, in person. It is slow and it is the reason the first block works at all.
