Janaagraha is one of the premier social organizations of Bangalore working towards the concept of "participative democracy". Established by Swati and Ramesh Ramanathan in 2001, Janaagraha is working towards encouraging citizen participation to ensure greater accountability and better quality of governance.

Janaagraha was launched in Chennai in September, 2007 and is focusing its efforts on tackling the city's transportation challenges. Janaagraha in Chennai is the knowledge partner for Chennai City Connect (CCC) which is focusing on traffic and transportation for improvements in the city. CCC is a non-profit organization, hosted by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), which provides a platform for various stakeholders to engage with the government by providing knowledge and skills necessary to improve urban infrastructure and governance.

The Chennai team has taken up two fast track projects—redesigning of the L.B. Road and piloting New Mobility Hubs around the IT corridor.
