Democratise AI
Lower the cost to build and deploy AI in Indian languages. Support developers with open models and tooling that run on modest compute and at the edge.
भारत · India Focus
We are building a world class AI research lab in India
Our goal is to develop AI for India’s needs and to help democratise AI across Bharat. We work on systems that are practical, safe, and inclusive for a billion users.
Mission
Kashi Labs is an India first AI research lab. We aim to advance open AI research, build deployable technologies for public digital infrastructure, and enable startups, developers, and institutions to adopt safe machine intelligence.
Serve Bharat scale
Design for India’s diversity and constraints. Robust systems that work offline first, across scripts, bandwidths, and devices.
Safety and governance
Align models with Indian law and cultural context. Privacy preserving methods, auditability, and real world red teaming.
Research and build themes
Indic NLP and Speech
Foundation and task models for 22 schedule languages and beyond. OCR for scripts, TTS and ASR with dialect coverage, code-mix handling.
Vision Language Systems
Multimodal understanding for commerce, education, and public safety. On-device perception with efficient transformers.
Edge AI for Bharat
Optimised inference for phones and low cost servers. Quantisation, distillation, streaming inference, and federated learning.
Public Stack Integrations
UPI, ONDC, ABHA, DigiLocker. Trustworthy agents and middleware that respect user consent and Indian regulations.
Safety and Evaluation
Benchmarks for Indian languages and scenarios. Red team methods, watermarking, and policy toolkits for responsible AI.
Open tools
Datasets, model hubs, and SDKs to accelerate startups and researchers. Practical documentation and examples.
