What we work on
Joint Research Projects
Co-designed research with universities, agencies and companies, from problem framing to publication or deployment.
Pilots & Proofs of Concept
Time-boxed pilots that test an AI idea with real users and real data before any larger commitment.
AI Readiness & Strategy
Data audits, use-case discovery and roadmaps for leadership teams planning their first AI investments.
Capacity Building
Workshops and hands-on training so partner teams can operate, evaluate and extend the systems we build together.
Data Partnerships
Responsible data-sharing agreements that let institutions contribute to and benefit from Bangla AI research.
Long-Term Support
Monitoring, model updates and advisory support for systems that have left the pilot stage.
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.
- Sangbad-SLM & Bangla Language Models
- Bangla Corpus Engine
- Low-Resource Training Methods
- Speech & Dialect Research
- Sovereign Benchmarks
- Efficient Inference
Applied AI Research
Turning research into working systems for documents, vision, data and decision-making.
The lab's applied group takes models from the bench into the field: document intelligence for Bangla and English paperwork, computer vision, forecasting and retrieval-augmented assistants, each measured against real-world data.
- Document & Data Intelligence
- Computer Vision
- Predictive Modelling
- Retrieval & Generative Systems
- AI Evaluation & Safety
- Experimental Prototypes
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.

- On-Premise & Private Cloud
- MLOps & Model Monitoring
- Data Governance & Privacy
- Compute Strategy
- Open Standards & Interoperability
