What is Dataful?
Dataful, created by Factly, is a platform designed to provide organized and easy-to-use public datasets covering over 50 sectors. It not only offers clean and standardized data but also aims to build a community around public data. The goal is to help people identify, understand, and analyze public data more effectively.

This platform simplifies the entire process of finding, understanding, and analyzing public data by integrating various Factly initiatives. It includes Master Datasets, Master Collections, High-Frequency Indicators (HFIs), DataMaps, DataSheets, Dashboards, Know Your Sources, Counting India, and DataByte.

In essence, Dataful isn't just a data website—it's a complete ecosystem for public data in India. Currently, it features data solely from government sources or about the government, along with information from global organizations or events.
