Our purpose
To make Basant easier to plan and more enjoyable to celebrate, by helping people find what they need early and helping local vendors reach them in an organised way.
About the platform
Basant, brought together
Bo Kaata connects festival-goers with the kite sellers, dor makers and rooftop hosts who make Basant happen, through one app for customers and one for vendors.
What Bo Kaata is
A festival platform with two apps
Getting ready for Basant often means visiting several markets, calling around for a rooftop and hearing about events by word of mouth. Bo Kaata puts those pieces in one place.
The Customer App lets people browse Basant products, pre-book ahead of the festival, request rooftop bookings and explore events. The Vendor App gives sellers and hosts a simple dashboard for their products, orders, pre-bookings, rooftops and events.
Purpose and vision
Our vision
A Basant season where every festival-goer can plan their day with confidence, and every vendor and rooftop host has the tools to serve them well.

How we build it
The principles behind the apps
Festival first
Designed around how Basant actually works: short seasons, busy rooftops and lots of last-minute planning.
Made for local vendors
Simple tools that a small shop can use on a phone during its busiest days, without training.
Clear and honest
Plain information about what's available, what a booking request means and what still needs confirming.
Celebrate safely
Please follow local laws and official guidance on kite flying, including any restrictions on metal, glass-coated or chemical string, and take care on rooftops, especially with children.
