Program Manager - PMP - IT (5-7 yrs)

Bangalore Job Code: 967921

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. And next to nobody is building solutions for them. They are prevented from using the internet to its fullest potential because English forms a language barrier. 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.
