⚡ AI Entrepreneur Story Of The Week!
On a mission to reduce poverty in India, using his AI startup…
This week, we’re moving away from the amazing corporate AI companies that entrepreneurs have started, and instead introduce Manu Chopra & Karya AI. It’s a nonprofit organization that focuses on collecting and selling data for AI development, and instead of keeping the cash, it funnels it back to the poor.

As you may know, AI is fueled by data. With a population of 1.4B, India is a treasure trove of cultural and linguistic data, much of which is near impossible to find online. By introducing this model, Karya creates thousands of jobs for the poor, and the employees get de-facto ownership of the data the create while working, receiving a cut of it once sold. It’s a one-of-a-kind business model that is positively affecting the lives of many.
👆 My #BuildInPublic Feature
Well, I’m definitely excited about this week’s #BuildInPublic feature of the week. Introducing TeleTools AI byyy… Me!
TeleTools AI was a project that I embarked on exactly 6 days ago with the goal of getting my first sale in a single week, just as a fun project. TeleTools lets you chat to PDFs/PPTXs/DOCs etc using Telegram, which is widely used where I am. Just thought it would be useful for my friends and me in lieu of the upcoming semester. And hopefully, some of you might use it too!
(Psst, I’m running a 40% off Early Bird promo to celebrate the launch! 👇️ )
