Sandbox

Bringing proven global solutions to India

The Sandbox helps various organizations test and demonstrate proven urban solutions in conditions that are typical to the city. This helps Indian cities address their urban challenges using new solutions and approaches.



How does the PULL Sandbox work?

The Sandbox helps cities to prioritise and present challenges to relevant and interested organizations with proven solutions and approaches. By fostering partnerships with cities, organizations, and service providers, the Sandbox facilitates the testing and demonstration of solutions. The Sandbox provides institutional, regulatory and technical support for pilots, assists with contextualizing solutions and supports the government in measuring the impact of the testing. Other cities can use our learnings from operating the sandbox in Panaji to replicate a similar approach to solve their urban challenges.
