I've been thinking about the Indian railway system and have identified several areas where the passenger experience could be significantly improved.

Some of the major issues I've observed are:

  1. Unclean toilets and poor sanitation facilities.
  2. Low train speeds on many routes, resulting in longer journey times.
  3. Frequent delays that affect passengers' schedules and convenience.
  4. Ticket availability issues due to the imbalance between supply and demand.
  5. Poor hygiene in certain areas of the train.
  6. Lack of comfort during long-distance journeys.
  7. And many more...
The list could go on, but I want to focus on solving a specific problem rather than trying to tackle everything at once.

My initial thought is to work on improving train speeds and reducing delays to make railway travel more efficient and reliable.

However, I'm not entirely sure where to start, how to identify the root causes of these problems, or how to approach them in a practical and scalable way.

I'd love to hear your valuable opinions, especially from those who have experience in problem-solving, startups, operations, or transportation systems.

  • How would you approach a problem of this scale?
  • What should I research first to understand the root causes?
  • Is there a smaller, specific problem within train delays or speed optimization that I could start working on?
I'm open to suggestions and constructive criticism. My goal is to understand the problem deeply and explore whether I can build a practical solution that creates real value for passengers.
