What We Do
At Karya, we are on a mission to bring AI-based earning and learning opportunities to low-income communities. The AI revolution has created a massive amount of digital work surrounding data generation, labelling, and enrichment. From building multimodal Indic language datasets and human-in-the-loop tasks to mitigating bias and culturally-sensitive LLM evaluations, Karya’s workers in rural India enable cutting-edge, inclusive AI innovations.
We have also built a one-of-a-kind digital work platform that divides AI-data tasks into microtasks and distributes them to individuals in need of supplementary income. So far, our platform has been used to distribute 40 million+ tasks to 40,000+ people in India. Our platform and model allows us to provide our workers some of the highest wages in the global data market - nearly 20 times the Indian minimum wage.
We were on the cover of the Time Magazine and Bloomberg last year, and Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella recently highlighted our work in his keynote. Karya has been supported by organisations like Microsoft, Google, Gates Foundation, ACT Grants, Fast Forward, 100X Accelerator, DRK Foundation, Mulago, Echoing Green, The/Nudge Institute among others
