About us

Who we are, what we believe, and why we built a multilingual AI data company.

Who we are

Nearly a decade of multilingual data work, now building the datasets AI is missing

We started as a multilingual data services team — collecting and annotating speech, text and document data across India's languages for buyers who needed quality the global vendors could not deliver. Nearly a decade of that work taught us where the world's AI is blind: the low-resource languages spoken by hundreds of millions of people but represented in almost no training data.

So we changed what we build. Today we own and license proprietary, rights-cleared multilingual datasets in 400 languages, and we run the collection and annotation services that create them. The heritage didn't go away — it became the network and the quality bar behind every dataset we sell.

Our mission

Make sure the next era of AI speaks every language — fairly

Most of humanity speaks a language that today's models barely understand. We exist to close that gap with data that is built the right way: collected from real speakers who consented and were paid fairly, documented end-to-end, and licensed cleanly so the labs that train on it are never exposed on rights or provenance.

Low-resource language inclusion is not a side project for us — it is the whole point. Every dataset we add to the catalog extends what AI can do for a community that was previously invisible to it.

What we do

Datasets you can license — and the services that build them

Buy data off the shelf, commission a corpus that doesn't exist yet, or have us label data you already hold. Physical AI is one of these services, delivered exactly like the rest — not a research program.

  • Proprietary datasets

    License rights-cleared multilingual datasets from the catalog, each with a full data card.

    Browse the catalog
  • Data collection

    We build bespoke corpora to spec across speech, text, image and document modalities.

    Data collection
  • Data annotation

    LLM-grade labelling, RLHF and evaluation on data you already have, at a measured quality bar.

    Annotation service
  • Physical AI data — as a service

    Multimodal sensor, teleop and environment data collection and annotation for robotics and embodied AI, delivered as a standard data service.

Why teams choose us

What sets the foundry apart

  • Reach no one else has

    A vetted vendor and linguist network into languages and regions global vendors cannot staff.

  • Documented quality

    Inter-annotator agreement, audit cadence and provenance records on every dataset and engagement.

  • Sovereign & rights-cleared

    India data-residency on request, with consented sourcing and clean licensing for procurement.

    Sovereign data

What we value

The principles behind every program

  • Fair pay, real consent

    Contributors are paid fairly and consent is explicit and recorded — never assumed.

  • Quality you can audit

    We publish our methodology and metrics rather than asking you to take quality on faith.

  • Sovereignty by default

    Your data, your residency, your rights — we design for procurement and compliance from day one.

About the foundry

Questions buyers ask about us

Are you a research lab or a data vendor?

We own and license proprietary multilingual datasets and run the collection and annotation services that build them. Everything — including Physical AI data — is delivered as a commercial data service, not as research.

Is your data rights-cleared and consented?

Yes. Every program is built on explicit, recorded consent and fair pay, with documented provenance and clean licensing so your procurement and legal teams have what they need.

Can data stay resident in India?

Yes. We offer an India data-residency / sovereign delivery option for regulated and government buyers. See Sovereign data for details.

Which languages can you reach?

We work across 400 languages, with particular depth in low-resource Indic and African languages that global vendors cannot staff. Browse the catalog or request a custom collection.
