Overview
Indika collects, structures, and surfaces information about businesses, prices, and services across Nigeria — the kind of data that usually lives only in WhatsApp groups and street-level knowledge.

Indika
A crowdsourced data index for the Nigerian market. Structured information for a market that runs on word-of-mouth.
The problem
Nigerian commercial data is fragmented. Founders, journalists, and operators waste days collecting basics that should be a single query.
What we built
A submission pipeline with moderation, a public web index, and APIs for partners. Schema designed for messy, partial data — what works in practice, not what looks clean in theory.
Outcome
An open platform with an early contributor base and the data model to scale across categories.
