RatLoopz is a premium, open-source developer collective and incubator focused on building software that solves real-world societal problems.
RatLoopz is not a commercial software company with traditional structures. We are a global, open-source collective of over 250+ software engineers, designer minds, and open-source advocates.
Our community serves as a collaborative sandbox and software incubator, giving developers the opportunity to build premium, production-ready applications with massive public scale. We operate with a decentralized, collaborative model where community contribution, mentorship, and building software that directly impacts lives is our primary objective.
The organization was founded and is led by Dipjyoti Das, who serves as the lead architect and project lead across our stack.
At RatLoopz, we believe that software should serve communities:
- Civic Tech Focus: Building open-source tools that solve civic, societal, and community pain points.
- Healthcare Intelligence: Solving accessibility and information challenges in critical domains like pharmaceutical verification and digital medicine finder tools.
- Collaborative Education: Empowering student developers, GSSoC participants, and engineers to pair program and deploy enterprise-level software architectures.
India's first completely open-source anti-counterfeit medicine verification and pharmacy location tool.
- Why it matters: Counterfeit and sub-standard drugs threaten millions of lives every year. SahiDawa uses real-time API integrations, optical character scanners (OCR) for packaging recognition, and public CDSCO catalog mapping to put drug safety analysis directly into the hands of citizens.
- Stack: Next.js, Supabase, Python, FastAPI, and Postgres database systems.
The automated community infrastructure driving the RatLoopz community.
- Why it matters: Scaling a community of 250+ active contributors requires automated onboarding, metrics processing, and repository actions. SidebarSync monitors organization events, coordinates contributor permissions, and automates GitHub org invites natively via workflows.
- Stack: TypeScript, Node.js, and GitHub Actions APIs.
If you are a frontend developer, backend engineer, AI/ML enthusiast, UI/UX designer, or technical writer looking to build systems that matter, we invite you to build with us.
