We conduct research studies with expert practitioners who understand Indian problems and their nuances.

What we research

Language

One model, multiple languages

Most Indians speak more than one language, often in the same sentence. We are researching models that move between Hindi, Tamil, Bengali and English the way people do, without translating through English first.

  • Speech

    Voice first

    We feel many Indians will talk to AI before they chat. We study ASR in different accents, noise and code-mixing.

  • Evaluation

    Benchmarks written for India

    We want to build evaluations for language models in Hindi and other regional languages.

  • Efficiency

    Cost Minimization

    A sentence in Hindi or Tamil can cost several times the tokens of the same sentence in English. We research tokenizers that close the gap.

  • Reasoning

    How Indian practitioners reason

    Doctors, lawyers and jyotishis each work from their own texts and rules. We study how they reach an answer.
