Awaaz

The idea for Awaaz came from a simple frustration. I kept noticing how public conversations no longer reflected how people actually think. Social media rewards certainty, performance, and outrage—but most real opinions are quieter, conflicted, and nuanced. Having studied society and human behavior, and having previously built consumer tech, I became increasingly curious about a gap: we talk constantly, yet we measure almost nothing honestly. People want to know: What do others really believe? Am I alone in thinking this? Are my views changing—or am I just reacting to noise? But there was no place to explore these questions without judgment, backlash, or identity attached. So I started building Awaaz as a kind of social laboratory—a space where people can express opinions anonymously, see real-time collective patterns, and reflect without needing to perform. No debates to win. No audiences to impress. Just signals. What inspired me most wasn’t disagreement—it was curiosity. The belief that if you remove pressure and ego, people are far more thoughtful than we give them credit for. Awaaz is my attempt to design for that quieter, more honest layer of human thought.
