Could you build this?
Partial The web portal for searching, previewing, and downloading datasets is straightforward CRUD, but aggregating, cleaning, verifying, and keeping Indian government public datasets updated requires extensive data pipeline work and manual wrangling.
What it would actually take: A functioning platform requires a web frontend (Next.js/React) and storage backend (S3/Supabase), coupled with automated ETL scrapers (using Python/Airflow/Prefect) that monitor disparate Indian government portals (data.gov.in, state databases). The hard part is building robust data cleaning scripts to handle messy formats (scanned PDFs, inconsistent CSV schemas, malformed Unicode) and maintaining pipelines as government endpoints break.
