Global South · consented · rights-cleared data

The world's AI doesn't speak every language. We collect the data that fixes that.

Consented, rights-cleared training and evaluation data across 400 languages — built by native speakers in the low-resource and code-mixed languages of the Global South that no one else can reach. Measured (IAA ≥ 0.85), sovereign, and India-resident. Built for the labs shaping AI.

  • 400-language footprint
  • India-native operations
  • NDA-grade governance
The Cognegica AI data lifecycle: multilingual data is ingested across a 400-language footprint, transformed through annotation and structuring, governed under an NDA-grade consent and compliance shield, then activated as model-ready training data.

Coverage · 400 languages

400 languages — including the ones the web forgot.

From Devanagari to Dravidian, from Maithili to Santali to Hausa — we run native-speaker field operations in regions most vendors can't economically reach. Explore 392 of them below (342 low-resource); the full 400-language footprint is in scope.

The Cognegica data lifecycle

From the field to your training run — governed end to end

Every record moves through four accountable stages. The same pipeline that powers the catalog builds your custom datasets.

  1. 01 Native-speaker field collection across audio, video, image and text

    Ingest

    Native speakers collect audio, video, image and text in the field — across Indic, African and low-resource languages the open web never captured.

  2. 02 Annotation and structuring with two-pass quality assurance

    Transform

    Specialist annotators label and structure every record, with calibrated guidelines and two-pass QA — measured against inter-annotator agreement.

  3. 03 Consent, provenance and compliance governance shield

    Govern

    Written consent, provenance and license terms are attached to each item — India-resident and DPDP-aligned, ready for a procurement review.

  4. 04 Versioned, model-ready dataset delivery with a data card

    Activate

    Datasets ship as versioned drops with a data card — published quality metrics and documentation, so your model trains on data you can defend.

See the full catalog

Filter by language, domain, modality and license tier — every card ships with quality metrics and provenance.

Domains

Vertical datasets, built for the way each industry actually talks

Domain-specialist annotators, curated ontologies, and documented consent — so the data reflects real practice, not scraped approximations.

  • Legal

    Court judgments, statutes, contracts and clause-level entity tags across Indian jurisdictions and languages.

    Explore legal data
  • Healthcare

    De-identified, consented patient–clinician dialogue, clinical NLP and speech — DPDP-aligned and India-resident.

    Explore healthcare data
  • Agriculture

    Vernacular advisory, crop and agronomy data for the languages farmers actually speak in the field.

    Explore agriculture data
  • BFSI

    Code-mixed voice and document data for KYC, fraud, advisory and compliance across Indic languages.

    Explore BFSI data
  • Government

    Vernacular-first public-service and citizen-interaction data aligned with national language programs.

    Explore government data
  • Safety & Evaluation

    Red-team, instruction-following and cultural-safety eval sets for languages your benchmarks don't cover.

Capabilities

Beyond the catalog: data services on demand

When the dataset you need doesn't exist yet, we build it — with the same rights-cleared, documented rigor as our off-the-shelf data.

  • Multilingual Data Collection

    Native-speaker audio, video, image and text collection across Indic, African and low-resource languages — field-grade, consented, documented.

    Learn more
  • Data Annotation

    Speech, NLP, CV and multimodal annotation at IAA ≥ 0.85 with two-pass QA — built for foundation-model SLAs.

    Learn more
  • RLHF & Evaluation

    Preference data, red-teaming, DPO and culturally-calibrated evaluation — so your model learns the judgement your users expect.

    Learn more
  • Physical AI Data Collection

    A data-collection SERVICE for embodied AI: multi-sensor field capture — RGB-D, LIDAR, IMU, force-torque and teleoperation — across real Indian environments.

    Learn more
  • Physical AI Data Annotation

    A spatial-annotation SERVICE: 3D boxes, point-cloud segmentation, 6-DoF pose and frame-accurate events — including annotation of physical/sensor data you've already collected.

    Learn more

    Learn more
Sovereign, India-resident data with documented consent, provenance and safety review

Sovereignty & trust

Data you can defend in a procurement review

Compliance is a feature, not a footnote. Every dataset is built to clear legal, security and regulatory scrutiny before it ever reaches your training run.

  • India data residency

    Collection, annotation and storage performed in-country, aligned with the DPDP Act, 2023 — sovereign delivery for government and BFSI.

  • Consent on every record

    Written contributor agreements granting commercial reuse, with a consent reference and authorship log attached to each item.

  • Documented data cards

    Provenance, methodology, quality metrics and license terms published per dataset — transparency that technical buyers can audit.

Why us

What generalist data vendors can't credibly replicate

  • Vendor-network reach

    Native-speaker field operations in low-resource regions most vendors can't economically staff.

  • Rights-cleared by design

    Consented, licensable data with provenance — not scraped corpora you can't legally train on.

  • A decade of delivery

    Nearly a decade of multilingual data delivery for production AI teams and frontier labs.

  • Documented quality

    Published IAA, WER and QA pass rates with two-pass review on every delivery.

FAQ

What buyers ask before they license

Is the data rights-cleared and safe to train on commercially?

Yes. Every record is created or sourced under written contributor agreements that grant commercial reuse, with a consent reference and authorship log attached. We do not ship scraped data you can't legally train on.

Which languages do you cover, including low-resource ones?

Our scope spans 400 languages — major Indic languages, low-resource Indic and North-East languages such as Maithili, Bhojpuri, Santali, Bodo and Tulu, and major African languages including Hausa, Yoruba, Amharic, Swahili and Zulu. If a language isn't in the catalog yet, we can collect it.

Can you guarantee India data residency and DPDP compliance?

Yes. We offer sovereign delivery: collection, annotation, processing and storage performed entirely within India, aligned with the DPDP Act, 2023 — with de-identification SOPs for personal data. This is built for government, BFSI and regulated enterprise buyers.

How do you document quality and provenance?

Each dataset ships with a data card: published quality metrics (inter-annotator agreement, QA pass rate, and word error rate for speech), methodology, annotator profile, and full provenance and license terms. Annotation runs two-pass QA with adjudication.

Do you offer Physical AI data services?

Yes — as a service. We provide Physical AI data collection (multi-sensor field capture: RGB-D, LIDAR, IMU, force-torque and teleoperation) and Physical AI data annotation (3D boxes, point-cloud segmentation, 6-DoF pose and frame-accurate events), including annotation of sensor data you've already collected. It is one of several capabilities, held to the same rights-cleared, documented rigor as our language data.

Can you build a custom dataset to spec?

Yes. When the data you need doesn't exist, we scope and build it — choosing languages, domains, modalities and license terms with you, and delivering versioned drops with full documentation. Start with a custom-dataset request.

License data your models can actually use.

Browse the catalog for off-the-shelf datasets, or tell us what you need and we'll build it — rights-cleared, documented, sovereign-ready.
