About Sangathan
Sangathan is not a startup or commercial enterprise. It is a digital civic infrastructure initiative of Bahujan Queer Foundation, a Section 8 non-profit organization.
Our Mission & Identity
Sangathan is civic digital infrastructure built to help NGOs, registered organizations, and grassroots civic collectives organize, govern, communicate, and operate with greater transparency, privacy, and accountability.
For too long, vital social work has been managed on fragile spreadsheets, unencrypted messaging groups, and expensive corporate software. We operate under Bahujan Queer Foundation as a non-profit initiative to provide lasting, neutral, and secure digital rails for democratic organizing.
Design Principles
Sovereignty (Swabhiman)
Your data belongs to you. We are custodians, not owners. You can export your entire database at any time.
Integrity (Nishtha)
Trust is the currency of collectives. Our system enforces it through immutable audit logs and verified identities.
Resilience (Drudhta)
Movements face external pressure. Our infrastructure is built to hold, with redundancy and offline-first thinking.
Accessibility
Technology should not exclude. We prioritize simple interfaces, local languages, and performance on low-end devices.
Our Philosophy
We operate with an infrastructure-first mindset. We do not try to "disrupt" your work or force you into a specific way of organizing. Instead, we provide the neutral, flexible tools you need to govern yourselves effectively.
We are strictly non-partisan. We provide the tools for democracy, but we do not dictate the outcomes.
