[open-government] Open Data India - In Pursuit of an Idea

Fri May 24 11:23:31 UTC 2013

Sounds like a great idea. If they are interested in company data at all
they might want to look at OpenCorporates, and particularly the 1.2 million
Indian companies at http://opencorporates.com/companies/in (there's also an
open data API). We're looking at pulling in other data for India, but this
is already an interesting basis on which to start.
