## About

We are on a mission to build a global open crowdsourced Internet of Things data network.

Our mission is to provide the entire city of Bengaluru with Internet of Things data connectivity by crowdsourcing the network by its citizens and local companies.

Bengaluru is an innovative city always looking for new challenges.
It is the meeting place of the peoples, the only city where you can hardly find a typical Bengalurian. It is the silicon valley of India.

Let's build an open, free and community-owned IoT data network for Bengaluru!
