Why we built Quneiform
As practitioners, we saw a gap between field operations and institutional reporting. Generic tools often failed to handle India’s complex administrative hierarchies and regional languages. Quneiform was built to bridge this gap.
Institutional Scale
Built to handle the hierarchical data flow from Block to District to State levels.
Regional First
Native support for 22 Indian languages to ensure inclusivity at the last mile.
Impact Oriented
Designed to measure outcomes, not just outputs, for social and urban programmes.
