Shaping the Next Decade of AI

We're a research and policy lab dedicated to advancing AI in India and its positive impact on society. We want to be an interdisciplinary research hub for Indian AI, bringing together computer scientists, product people, cognitive scientists, philosophers, policy experts, and humanities scholars to guide AI development.

By uniting frontier research, human-centred product design, policy insight, and AI literacy, we aim to steer AI toward a future that multiplies scientific progress, safeguards social welfare, and distributes opportunity.
