The census has equipped underserved and previously invisible populations with livelihood pathways for their growth. 6,891 women homemakers were identified to be ready to earn income for the first time ever. 36% of the youth of the ward were identified to be financially constrained and hence missing from a proper career pathway. Persons with disability, youth with perception of discrimination from employers, and various demographics hidden from their true potential were uniquely identified. “ Through the intelligence from this census, we have placed 100 women with a US based organization partnered with us, generating foundational data intelligence. Models from OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Physical Intelligence, are expected to get significantly enhanced if they use this intelligence. New foreign income generated by women for the first time, while doing a dignified job that builds AI and shape their future, this is one of the impacts of this census,” said Hardik Somani of Sapio Analytics, the execution partner of the census . This census has put Mumbai Suburban on the global academic map, as it became a case study at Northwestern University, and is currently being studied by prestigious global institutions and knowledge partners. It used AI to extract hidden and untapped truths of the ward and its residents, while using the intelligence to generate the district’s own AI model for matchmaking and decision making. “ Census has traditionally been episodic, but this census is continuous. It is based on the proprietary concept of citizens in the loop, involving residents of Mumbai to continuously share insights, which can be used to build AI models that can recommend contextualized impact policies for them, ” said Ashwin Srivastava of Sapio Analytics, responsible for intelligence generation from the census. Field verification and performance management platform ARC was used for the door-to-door enumeration. The model is expected to be replicated across all districts of Maharashtra, covering the state through hyperlocal territories.
