About Swadesi

India's Economic Intelligence Platform

Swadesi is where India comes to understand its economy. Market prices before the trade. Weather before the harvest. Government schemes before the deadline. Jobs before the queue. News in your language, about the places and people that matter to you.

We cover all of India — farmers and traders, salaried professionals and gig workers, students and small business owners, the diaspora abroad and the entrepreneur at home. Economic decisions don't wait, and neither should the information that drives them.

What we build

News in 11 Languages

Daily journalism published in Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, Tamil, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia, and English. Original reporting, wire coverage, and long-form stories about the people, places, and forces shaping India's economy.

Mandi Prices

Live wholesale crop prices from 3,800+ APMC mandis across India, updated daily. Searchable by commodity, district, and state. The price a farmer sees on Swadesi is the same price the trader sees at the gate.

Weather

Hyperlocal forecasts for every district in India — 7-day outlooks, rainfall, temperature, humidity. Built for agricultural and outdoor decision-making, not just convenience.

Jobs

Employment listings across sectors, states, and skill levels — from government and public sector to private industry and daily wage work.

Government Schemes

Central and state government welfare schemes, subsidies, and programmes — searchable by eligibility, state, and category. Updated as policies change.

Business Directory

India's most comprehensive business intelligence layer — MSME registrations, company filings, cooperative societies, and verified business profiles across every district. For buyers, suppliers, investors, and anyone who needs to know who operates where.

Cooperatives

India has over 800,000 registered cooperatives. Swadesi maps them — dairy, credit, weaving, farming, housing — giving members, managers, and policymakers a shared record.

The measure of success

We measure Swadesi by one thing: does a user who spends time here make a better economic decision than they would have made without it? A better price for a crop. A scheme they didn't know they qualified for. A job that matched their skill. A business found before the journey. If the answer is yes — consistently, at scale — we are doing our job.
