Product Strategist - Language Technology

Why they exist :

The Indian internet has exploded. Over half a billion Indians will be online before the end of this year. Most of these Indians will prefer using their own language online.

Whenever they visit a site or app, they are met with a wall of text in a language that they do not understand. 

The company believes in language equality on the internet. It's what drives them and gives what they do a meaning. Language equality basically means that every Indian should enjoy the same range of options and experiences online in their own language that an English speaker does online.

What they do :

They take immense pride in the fact that they tackle some of the most complex and impactful problems Indian language users currently face today. They- re working towards their mission of language equality by building a full-stack of language technologies and solutions, spanning fonts, font rendering, transliteration, translation, app & website localization in real-time, Indian language input. Indian language voice assistants, and Indic search, to empower the Indian language user and let them tap into the possibilities the internet offers them.
