What we work on
Document & Data Intelligence
OCR, extraction, classification and search across Bangla and English forms, reports, records and archives.
Computer Vision
Recognition, inspection and video analytics for public-sector, agricultural and industrial settings.
Predictive Modelling
Forecasting, risk scoring and anomaly detection trained on partners' operational data.
Retrieval & Generative Systems
Assistants and search built on our own or open-weight models with retrieval-augmented generation over trusted sources.
AI Evaluation & Safety
Red-teaming, bias and robustness testing, and human evaluation protocols before anything reaches users.
Experimental Prototypes
Rapid proofs of concept that test whether an idea survives contact with real data before anyone scales it.
How we work
Frame
Problem statement, data audit, evaluation plan.
Research
Experiments, training and benchmarks against baselines.
Pilot
A time-boxed prototype with real users and real data.
Transfer
Deployment on your infrastructure, monitoring and training.

Bangla AI
Language, speech and multimodal models built from the ground up for Bangla and other low-resource settings.
We train our own models rather than only fine-tuning someone else's. Our flagship Sangbad-SLM, a 0.8B-parameter Bangla news language model, is built on a corpus we collected and cleaned ourselves, and it runs on modest hardware.

- Bangla Corpus Engine
- Low-Resource Training Methods
- Speech & Dialect Research
- Sovereign Benchmarks
- Efficient Inference
Sovereign AI Infrastructure
On-shore, private infrastructure so institutions can run their own models on their own data.
Owning a model is only useful if you can run it. We research and build the inference pipelines, deployment blueprints and governance needed to operate AI on your own servers or private cloud, inside your borders.
- National Inference Pipeline
- On-Premise & Private Cloud
- MLOps & Model Monitoring
- Data Governance & Privacy
- Compute Strategy
- Open Standards & Interoperability
Innovation Programs & Partnerships
Joint research, pilots and capacity building with government, academia, NGOs and industry.
We work best alongside partners who bring a hard problem and real data. Our programs range from short pilots and proofs of concept to multi-year joint research, with training so partner teams can carry the work forward themselves.
