About Road Sense

Built by Citizens,
for Citizens

Road Sense turns everyday citizens into road safety advocates. We believe that when communities have the tools to document, validate, and demand better infrastructure, change happens faster.

The Reality

India's Road Crisis in Numbers

Road conditions across India remain a critical safety issue. The numbers paint a stark picture of why platforms like Road Sense are essential.

1.5 Lakh+
Road accidents per year

India records over 1.5 lakh road accidents annually, with poor road conditions being a major contributing factor. Potholes and broken surfaces cause vehicles to swerve unpredictably.

₹38,000 Cr
Annual vehicle damage

Indian vehicle owners collectively spend an estimated ₹38,000 crore annually on repairs caused by poor road conditions — suspension damage, tyre replacements, and alignment issues.

30%
Two-wheeler accidents from potholes

Nearly 30% of two-wheeler accidents are directly caused by potholes and uneven road surfaces. Two-wheeler riders — the majority of Indian commuters — bear the worst impact.

The QUAD Connection

Road Sense is a SQUAD product built on the QUAD Framework. Every road segment, every report, every contributor — they are all nodes in a knowledge graph. Relationships between them reveal patterns that individual data points cannot.

QUAD stands for Quality, Understanding, Agility, and Delivery. It is an AI-native framework that treats every piece of knowledge as a connected node — enabling smarter analysis, better predictions, and citizen-driven governance.

Who We Are

Built with Purpose

SA

Suman Addanke

Creator, QUAD Framework

Road Sense began with a simple frustration: why do the same potholes keep coming back year after year? The answer was clear — there was no systematic way for citizens to document, track, and demand accountability for road conditions. QUAD Framework was built to solve exactly these kinds of problems, where knowledge, community, and technology converge.

Our Mission

To make road quality visible, measurable, and actionable. We envision a future where every road in every city has a public quality score — maintained by the people who drive on it, walk on it, and depend on it every day. When citizens have data, governments listen.
