An Indian AI Startup Helping The Poor

At a time when many AI startups are riding high and doing great business, an Indian startup is making its own set of efforts to help the poor make money. Karya, a non-profit startup launched in 2021 in Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore), bills itself as ¡°the world¡¯s first ethical data company.¡± The startup already has a list of high-profile clients, including Microsoft, MIT, and Stanford.

While it sells data to big tech companies and other clients at the market rate just like its competitors, instead of keeping much of that cash as profit, it covers its costs and funnels the rest towards the rural poor in India. (Karya partners with local NGOs to ensure access to its jobs goes first to the poorest of the poor, as well as historically marginalised communities.) In addition to its $5 hourly minimum, Karya gives workers de facto ownership of the data they create on the job, so whenever it is resold, the workers receive the proceeds on top of their past wages. It¡¯s a model that doesn¡¯t exist anywhere else in the industry.

The work Karya is doing also means that millions of people whose languages are marginalised online could stand to gain better access to the benefits of technology¡ªincluding AI. "Most people in the villages don¡¯t know English," says Vinutha, a 23-year-old student who has used Karya to reduce her financial reliance on her parents. "If a computer could understand Kannada, that would be very helpful."
