Leigh Budlong's Zonability app guides citizens through complicated building ordinances. Federal CTO Aneesh Chopra, who chairs the U.S.-India Open Government Dialogue, said the app could help India prevent government corruption. During a trip to India last year, a farmer told President Barack Obama of the difficulty in getting his certified land records. Chopra said an app like Zonability could make related data available online, allowing landowners to bypass government offices. In this video, Budlong discusses how she came up with her project and the challenges she faced in application development.
