When property buyers of real estate projects like Unitech and Jaypee were left in the lurch, the Supreme Court of India directed that a web portal be set up for buyers to register their claims. As part of the registration process the Supreme Court required various documents to be submitted online by claimants. The challenge was to set up cloud services which complied with Indian cyberlaw, were scalable enough to accept a surge of users on the days following the announcement with bandwidth and storage enough to accept an average of 50 megabyte upload per applicant from an estimated 30,000 claimants and simple enough for everyone to use; above all the system had to be secure. The team of amicus curiae Pawan Shree Agrawal wanted an MIS system in the backend to enable them to manage data and report status to the Supreme Court from time to time. TikiWiki was the open source solution used to orchestrate the entire solution.
