When "India"
became the answer.
I was watching a GeoGuessr livestream, a game where players guess a location from random Google Street View images. Every time the street looked dirty or covered in litter, the livestream chat instantly filled with the same answer: "India."
It bothered me. Seeing my country reduced to a stereotype was disappointing. But at the same time, I couldn't honestly say they were completely wrong. Poor waste management and weak civic participation are problems we still struggle with. Instead of complaining about it, I decided to build something that could help.
That's how Sweepzy started. I'm building it end-to-end, from product and design to the backend, AI pipeline, and deployment. The goal is simple: make reporting litter take seconds, give communities a shared map of issues, use AI to verify cleanups, score ward performance, and help cities stay cleaner through better civic participation.
