People+ai: What we do
We shape the narrative of AI in India with people at the center.
At People+ai, we believe in putting voices first, operating at population scale, and focusing on use cases that reduce friction and create impact. Our community-driven approach champions open source building and accessibility, making AI work for everyone.
We listen to end users, seek out diverse insights, and bring innovators together to craft meaningful AI applications. By highlighting stories from real people and innovators across India, we're building a narrative of AI that centers on empowerment and equity.
Our work spans three core pillars:
Stories: Documenting and amplifying the human experiences and innovations that shape AI in India
Spaces: Creating forums and platforms where communities can connect, learn, and collaborate
Blueprints: Developing practical tools and frameworks that translate insights into actionable solutions

STORIES
Have you ever wondered how technology stories shape our collective imagination? At People+ai, we believe that the stories we tell about AI directly influence how it develops and who benefits.
Stories are powerful tools that help us envision what's possible. We document and amplify voices from across India to create a narrative where AI empowers everyone, not just a privileged few.
Why this matters: When we only hear tech stories from certain sectors of society, we miss the rich diversity of how ordinary people interact with and reimagine technology. By centering stories from various communities across India, we're creating a more inclusive vision of AI's future.
Get involved:
Every story matters. Your perspective helps complete our understanding of what AI means for India.
SPACES
Picture a garden where ideas are planted, nurtured, and eventually bear fruit. Our spaces are both virtual and physical environments where community members come together to explore possibilities, exchange knowledge, and turn promising concepts into reality.
We've created multiple entry points for you to engage, learn, and contribute — no technical background required.
Why this matters: Innovation doesn't happen in isolation. By creating spaces where diverse perspectives can collide, we generate better ideas and build solutions that work for everyone. Our spaces democratize access to AI knowledge and create opportunities for grassroots innovation.
Get involved:
Whether you have a specific idea to contribute or simply want to learn more, our Spaces welcome you. The only requirement is curiosity and a willingness to engage.
BLUEPRINTS
Our Blueprints translate insights into practical tools, methodologies, and environments that enable innovation. These convert cross-cutting problems across industrial and domains into practical and adoptable AI solution in mind.
Think of Blueprints as your roadmap and toolkit combined. They capture collective wisdom from past implementations and provide structured approaches to overcome common challenges.
Why this matters: Too often, promising ideas never reach the people who could benefit most. By documenting successful approaches and creating supportive environments for experimentation, we help bridge the gap between concept and impact.
