Where Public Voice Shapes Policy

Civis is India’s leading civic-tech platform for public consultations—built to connect governments with the citizens they serve.

By simplifying complex policies, translating them into accessible formats, and collecting structured feedback at scale, Civis enables decision-makers to design laws that are inclusive, transparent, and data-driven.

At Civis, we believe policy is better when people are part of the process.

We bridge the gap between citizens and government by:

Hosting and simplifying draft laws and policies.

Translating them into local languages for wider accessibility.

Gathering structured citizen feedback through digital and offline channels.

Equipping government teams with AI-powered tools to analyse insights and generate actionable recommendations.

Supporting departments to run consultations that are transparent, representative, and easy to manage.

Our work complements the Pre-Legislative Consultation Policy (PLCP), 2014, which encourages lawmakers to invite public participation in shaping laws. Civis operationalises this vision with end-to-end digital infrastructure and community engagement.
