The Case for Vaani

India is a civilisation of the ages, but with significant socio-economic challenges currently. Vaani is a community created to build AI solutions to solve India’s problems, today.
Vaani is built around four functions: Discover, Educate, Build and Comment. We believe that the pace of innovation in AI for good can be significantly increased by systematising the process of problem discovery and solution engineering. In addition, there is need for education and robust commentary
