UP SDMA × Times of India — Disaster Data Platform
Built a unified digital data collection platform for the Uttar Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) in collaboration with Times of India — streamlining disaster response data gathering, improving processes, and replacing fragmented manual workflows with a single source of truth.
The Challenge
What They Were Facing
The UP State Disaster Management Authority relied on fragmented, paper-based data collection across dozens of districts. During disaster events, critical information about affected populations, infrastructure damage, and relief distribution was scattered across spreadsheets, phone calls, and manual registers. This led to delayed response times, duplicate efforts, and an inability to get a real-time picture of on-ground conditions. The government needed a centralised digital platform that district officials could use to report, track, and analyse disaster data in a structured and timely manner.
Our Solution
How We Solved It
We designed and developed a comprehensive digital data collection platform that unified the entire disaster management data workflow into a single system. The platform features structured data entry forms tailored to SDMA reporting requirements, role-based access for district and state-level officials, real-time dashboards for monitoring disaster impact across all districts, and automated report generation for government review. We built the system to work reliably in low-connectivity environments common in rural UP, with offline data capture and sync capabilities. The platform replaced manual registers and ad-hoc spreadsheets with a standardised, auditable digital process.

Impact That Matters
“This platform transformed how we collect and act on disaster data. What used to take days of manual compilation is now available in real time — helping us respond faster and allocate resources where they are needed most.”
