The main goal of this paper is to investigate an up and coming crowdfunding platform used to raise funds for social causes in India called Ketto. Despite the growing usage of this platform, there is insufficient understanding in terms of why users choose this platform when there are other popular platforms such as GoFundMe. Using a dataset comprising of 119,493 Ketto campaigns, our research conducts an in-depth investigation into different aspects of how the campaigns on Ketto work with a specific focus on medical campaigns, which make up the largest percentage of social causes in the dataset. We also perform predictive modeling to identify the factors that contribute to the success of campaigns on this platform. We use several features such as the campaign metadata, description, geolocation, donor behaviors, and campaign-related features to learn about the platform and its components. Our results suggest that majority of the campaigns for medical causes seek funds to address chronic health conditions, yet medical campaigns have the least success rate. Most of the campaigns originate from the most populous states and major metropolitan cities in India. Our analysis also indicates that factors such as online engagement on the platform in terms of the number of comments, duration of the campaign, and frequent updates on a campaign positively influence the funds being raised. Overall, this preliminary work sheds light on the importance of investigating various dynamics around crowdfunding for India-focused community-driven needs.
