"Karya is building a revolutionary data cooperative and empowering economically disadvantaged people along the way, giving them a pathway out of poverty. Building world-class AI models require a holistic dataset collection with high-accuracy labels and rich demographic diversity. Karya enabled us to effectively target and scale these efforts by providing the highest quality datasets at our speed of growth for building ASR models in Indian languages and dialects. Highly recommend working with this innovative and collaborative team."

"I have been working closely with Karya on several language data projects. Karya is the perfect platform for large data design and collection activities that is essential for creating real-world deployable Artificial Intelligence. However, the real value of Karya lies in its social agenda and the impact the team is able to have on the life of the "invisible workers" without whom such technologies would remain a dream. Karya team has taken digital work to a non-urban, non-tech savvy population and shown that this can be done in an ethical manner that is a win-win for both customers and the data-providers."

"Karya's tech-based model of giving digital work to rural India is brilliantly innovative. At scale, it will cause widespread poverty alleviation and skilling."

"I really like this kind of work because there’s no physical pain or hard work involved. Because we are villagers, most of the work we get requires heavy lifting. But now, I can work from my home. I like that Karya matches my routine. It is also really nice that we are teaching computers how to speak Marwari. Marwari is a great language, plus it’s our language. If everyone is hearing my voice and it is helping spread my language, what can be better than this? What can be a bigger motivation than this?"
