India’s first crowdsourced, anonymous bribe registry
bribes.fyi is India's first crowdsourced bribe registry. It allows citizens to anonymously report bribes they paid or refused to pay, creating a public database of corruption incidents. The platform aims to increase transparency and accountability by making bribe data searchable by state, department, amount, and date.
Reports are anonymous, require no account, and are permanently public. The system uses a verification algorithm that flags patterns when multiple reports cluster around the same office or officer. The data is freely accessible to journalists, NGOs, and the public to drive change.
Anyone in India who has encountered bribery can use bribes.fyi to report it safely. The platform is designed for citizens, activists, researchers, and policy makers who want to understand and combat corruption at a granular level.
