• At People+ai (a not-for-profit housed under EkStep Foundation led by the minds behind Aadhaar, UPI, and ONDC), I led Sthaan - a Voice AI product designed for real-world India.
• Sthaan tackled the unstructured address problem in Tier-2+ India, where users describe locations like “behind the temple.” I led the full product arc — from voice UX research to ASR/TTS prototyping, LLM prompt design, and evaluation pipelines.
• Key focus areas:
• Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text-to-Speech (TTS) in noisy, multilingual settings
• Prompt engineering for non-text-first user flows
• LLM evaluation pipelines for reliability and consistency at scale
• Building for thin-margin, logistics use-cases and DPI-aligned solutions
• While the product didn’t scale due to cost constraints in logistics, it gave us a clear playbook on designing AI systems for Bharat — practical, local, and inclusive.
