MyCityGram
Your city is many small grams. · हर शहर कई ग्राम।

A city is many small grams. You live in more than one.

MyCityGram is the feed of the places that hold your life — the lane, the market, the metro stop — in your view, by the people who share them.

gramग्रामnoun
Sanskrit · Hindi · used across Indian languages

A place small enough that everyone knows the lane, the people, what's working and what isn't. The lane you live on. The market you shop at. The metro station, the temple, the school your kids go to. Each one is a gram. All of them yours.

See it · झलक

Open MyCityGram, and your gram is right there.

  • A feed of your gram, not the country. The lane, the market, the metro stop — what's around you, told by the people in it.
  • Love and what-could-be-better, same page. Celebrate the festival lights and flag the broken streetlight. Both belong here.
  • Built to forward. See something worth sharing, send it to your family group in one tap.
The thesis · सिद्धांत

Two things are true about the places that hold you. At once.

The same lane, twice: on the left, a street lit with festival lights as neighbours share chai; on the right, the same kind of lane with an overflowing bin, a leaning streetlight and a cracked road.
The same lane holds both — the evening it's lit for a festival, and the morning the bin overflows. दोनों सच हैं।

These are your grams — the corner where you've had chai for fifteen years. The lane your daughter walks to school. The market where the vendor remembers your face. The temple bell at six. Places full of people who recognise you.

AND.और।

These are also your grams — the streetlight broken since Diwali. The metro escalator out all year. The playground promised three years ago. The drain that floods every monsoon. Things the same people already know about.

Both are true. Here, the love and the what-could-be-better sit on the same page, because the people who notice both are the same people.
Why we're doing this · अपनापन

Four things converge into one feeling — apnapan.

दृष्टि Drishti · Sight आवाज़ Aawaaz · Voice सहभाग Sahbhaag · Together पारदर्शिता Paardarshita · Open The convergence अपनापन Apnapan · Belonging
  • दृष्टि
    Drishti — Sight
    Seeing what's around you, the view from where you stand.
  • आवाज़
    Aawaaz — Voice
    Speaking what you see — the thing you love and the thing you'd change.
  • पारदर्शिता
    Paardarshita — Open seeing
    What you can see, everyone in your gram can see too. No gatekeepers.
  • सहभाग
    Sahbhaag — Together
    Not alone with what you see — seeing it alongside the people who share it.
An aerial view of a dense neighbourhood alive at once: children playing cricket, a temple, a vegetable market, rooftops with washing lines and a water tanker — a whole gram in a single frame.
A whole gram in one frame — the everyday life that belonging is made of. यही अपनापन है।

Apnapan is the feeling that this place is mine, and these are my people. It can't be manufactured. It emerges when sight, voice, openness and togetherness meet. MyCityGram is built for that to happen.

How life gets organised · श्रेणियाँ

The categories of a gram — shaped by the people in it.

Eight woodblock-style illustrations, one per category: a water tap and pot, a lamp-lit road, a park bench under a tree, a school, a clinic with a stethoscope, an auto at a bus stop, a streetlight at night, and a market stall with festival bunting.
Water, roads, parks, schools, health, transit, safety, local life — the eight ways daily life gets organised.
Water
पानी
The tanker, the leak in the lane, the supply timing, the corporation bill.
Roads & Streets
सड़कें
The potholes, the footpaths, the streetlights, the traffic at the chowk.
Parks & Public Spaces
पार्क और जन-स्थान
The playground, the morning walkers, the dustbins, the bench under the peepal.
Schools
विद्यालय
The government school, the missing teacher, the mid-day meal, the dropouts.
Health
स्वास्थ्य
The PHC, the ASHA worker, the chemist, the air quality, the dispensary line.
Public Transit
सार्वजनिक परिवहन
The bus stop, the metro station, the auto stand, the rickshaw fares.
Safety
सुरक्षा
The streetlight again, the chowki, the women's group, the walk back home at night.
Local Life
जन-जीवन
The festival, the weekly market, the temple committee, the cricket match in the gully.

The principle: civic life is organised the way it's lived. The tanker that didn't come, in the words people use for it.

How it works · चार परतें

Four layers. Each one does one job, well.

A neighbourhood scene of people sharing what they see: a woman and man talking with an elder, a resident pinning notices to a board, students reading together on a tablet, a sweeper and a child tending a plant, with the city skyline behind.
The people in a gram are the ones who see it, report it, and share it with each other.
i.
The view
दृश्य
Common people see
Open MyCityGram and see what's around you — the chai stall, the park, the corner where the bin overflows. The feed of your gram, told by the people in it.
ii.
The voice
आवाज़
Creators report
Anyone in your gram can describe what's happening — a photo, a voice note. The job is to report what is. The platform handles the rest.
iii.
The organisation
व्यवस्था
Content gets sorted
What people share gets sorted by the categories of daily life: water, roads, parks, schools, safety. The way it's lived.
iv.
The personalisation
अपना अनुभव
Experiential layer
What you see is shaped by what you care about. Sunita's school-parent feed differs from Ravi's job-seeker feed. Same gram, different views.

शहर बड़ा है, ग्राम अपना है।

The city is big. The gram is ours.

Where we are · हम कहाँ हैं

Three people, three ways of being in their gram.

Three portraits side by side, each looking at a phone: a schoolgirl with braids, a woman in a sari, and a young man with earphones — Priya, Sunita and Ravi.
Priya, Sunita and Ravi — the three ways of being inside a gram the design must serve first.
Patna · Class 9
Priya, 14
रील्स पीढ़ी · 30 सेकंड वाली कहानियाँ
Hindi-medium school student. Shares a phone with her mother. Her gram is a 30-second story she'll forward to friends before she forgets it.
Hyderabad · Homemaker
Sunita, 38
परिवार का WhatsApp · सुबह की चाय
Two school-age kids. WhatsApp is her newsfeed. Her gram is what she'd forward without thinking — a school worth knowing about, a water issue upstairs.
Bhopal · Job seeker
Ravi, 23
बेरोज़गार स्नातक · 4 घंटे रोज़
Unemployed graduate. Hours of Reels a day. His gram is what he didn't know was around him, and what he might step up to fix once he sees it's not just his lane.

These three are the ways of being inside a gram the design must serve first. If it doesn't land for them, it doesn't land.
