About Kalpna
Our mission
Models that read, see and speak every Indian language.
Kalpna is an Indian AI research lab. We build foundational models for India's languages, scripts, images and voices — regional-language OCR, Indic small language models, vision-language models for Indian problems, and realtime Indian voice — and EulerFlow, the platform that puts them to work.
India drew algorithms in rice flour long before it wrote them in code. We build India's models for the world — in that same unbroken line.
The problem
Why India needs its own models
- 01AI speaks English firstIndia lives in its regional languages and dialects; most models treat them as an afterthought.
- 02Knowledge is handwrittenForms, letters, registers and manuscripts in regional scripts that generic OCR cannot read.
- 03India's images look differentFields, streets, documents and clinics that global vision models were rarely trained on.
- 04Voices should sound like usNatural Indian voices, in realtime, that work on any phone — including a basic one.
Research focus
What we build
- Regional-language OCRPrinted and handwritten text in Indian scripts — Devanagari, Gujarati, Bengali and more — from forms, letters, registers and old manuscripts.HandwritingIndic scriptsDocumentsSee the model
- Indic small language modelsCompact language models for Indian regional languages, tuned to a domain and efficient enough to run close to the data.Regional languagesDomain-tunedEfficientSee the model
- Vision-language, mixture of expertsVLMs for India-centric problems — fields, roads, documents and clinics — built as a mixture of experts, so each kind of image reaches the right specialist.MoEIndia-centricVisual reasoningSee the model
- Indic voice: STT & TTSSpeech-to-text and text-to-speech across Indian regional languages, with realistic Indian voices.Speech-to-textText-to-speechRegional languagesSee the model

Principles
How we work
- 01Indian languages firstModels are built for regional languages and scripts from the start, not translated in later.
- 02People decideThe AI reads, sorts and drafts; officers and doctors approve every answer, disposal and report.
- 03Efficient by designSmall, specialised models and a mixture of experts, so AI runs close to the data and within budget.
- 04Hosted in IndiaState Data Centre or a MeitY-empanelled cloud, under the DPDP Act 2023.
- 05Honest about validationWe say what is proven in tests and what a pilot still has to prove.
- 06Rooted in imaginationIndia drew algorithms in rice flour long before it wrote them in code.
