Start with Culture

About OpenGov Products
Rahul is currently the Head of People and Culture for Open Government Products (OGP), a division within the Government Technology Agency of Singapore. OGP was set up in July 2019 to experiment, exemplify, and propagate what a government agency could look like by applying modern technology company practices. Some early products of OGP were parking.sg (a parking app to replace paper coupons) and data.gov.sg (to easily visualise data from the government). In response to Covid-19, OGP has built tools to facilitate large scale communication directly from the government to citizens (including ways to combat fake news), and a reporting system for those on stay home notice or home quarantine, which presents information to enforcement agencies to know where to focus their manual checks.
