LocalCircles is the brainchild of Mukesh Gupta and Sachin Taparia, who started the company in 2012. With LocalCircles, a citizen can get connected with their government, city, causes, neighborhood, interest, needs and any other communities they are a part of. Using LocalCircles, organisations can reach out to citizens and understand collective issues, challenges, solutions, opportunities, pulse at macro or micro levels. In March 2013, it landed an undisclosed amount in angel funding from Nadir Godrej, managing director of Godrej Industries, in his personal capacity.
