“If you look at how much an AI solution could mean to a user, it’s much higher in India with a much larger volume,” said Tanuj Bhojwani.

When we visited People+ai a couple of weeks ago, we had no idea we would walk into a space filled with AI engineers, volunteers and researchers, and of course, walls adorned with AI-generated art, all in line with the philosophy of ‘What can (AI) do for you?’ — straight from Tanuj Bhojwani’s LinkedIn tagline.
Under his leadership, People+ai is championing AI for India and addressing real challenges at scale with the aim to accelerate through various initiatives and government partnerships. As he put it, “We have a seat at the table… not just in building models but in creating the world’s largest use cases for AI where the difference in people’s lives is tangible”.
People+ai was born out of Nandan Nilekani, Rohini Nilekani, and Shankar Maruwada’s EkStep Found
