Jalandhar-based startup Neta, an app built by serial entrepreneur and Wharton School graduate Pratham Mittal, wants to help citizens rate and review politicians. Neta, meaning ‘leader’ in Hindi, is available on Android and iOS. The app is built to make voters more informed about their political leaders, and express and share their feedback with ratings. Users can also participate in in-app polls and discussions. Users need to download the Neta app or go to its website, select their constituency, see all MLAs and MP candidates, and study their ranking, ratings and reviews to decide who to vote for. Alternatively, users can rate incumbents on the work they have done over a period of time, and their views and future plans. Politicians too can log in on to the app to check and address the listed concerns. To ensure bots and party workers do not influence a leader’s rating, Neta only accepts reviews, ratings and votes from verified voters. The app uses a combination of artificial intelligence, one-time passwords and government IDs to ensure the users that give ratings are genuine.
