India's largest physical AI data collection network

Real-World Data Infrastructure
for Physical AI

We help robotics and AI companies collect scalable, high-quality human demonstration data from real-world environments across India.

Built for robotics startups, research labs and frontier AI companies

Why India

One country. Nearly every environment a robot will ever meet.

Physical AI needs diversity of environment, not just volume of footage. India offers industrial density, climatic range and urban–rural contrast inside a single operating jurisdiction — collected at a fraction of Western cost.

Boundaries as depicted by the Government of India. Illustrative; not to scale.

  • Cost efficiencyA multiple more recording hours per dollar than US or EU collection.
  • Operational scalabilityRecruit, train and deploy hundreds of participants in weeks, not quarters.

What we do

The operational layer between the real world and your training pipeline

Frontier models are no longer limited by compute. They are limited by real-world data. We build, run and quality-control the collection systems that produce it.

Human Demonstration Data

Real-world task recordings of people performing physical work — grasping, assembly, tool use, navigation, handovers — captured in the environments where the work actually happens.

  • Long-horizon, multi-step tasks
  • Natural failure and recovery behaviour
  • Repeat trials across operators and sites

Multi-Environment Collection

A single protocol executed across radically different physical contexts, so your models see the distribution shift before deployment does.

End-to-End Project Management

You define the data. We run everything that stands between the specification and the delivered dataset.

  • Participant recruitment & onboarding
  • Site access, scheduling & supervision
  • Multi-stage quality assurance
  • Secure delivery on your terms

AI-Ready Datasets

Delivered structured, synchronised and documented — not as a folder of raw video you have to rescue.

  • Time-synced multi-sensor streams
  • Rich per-episode metadata
  • Optional human annotation
  • Standard formats for training pipelines

Data collection capabilities

Sensor stacks configured per protocol

We run your hardware, our hardware, or a hybrid. Select a modality to see how we deploy it.

Project workflow

From first call to delivered dataset

A standardised seven-stage process, run identically on every engagement.

  1. 01

    Requirement Discussion

    Task taxonomy, target distribution, success criteria and volume.

  2. 02

    Protocol Design

    Capture rig, camera placement, trial structure and edge-case coverage.

  3. 03

    Participant Recruitment

    Sourcing, screening, consent and task-specific training.

  4. 04

    Equipment Deployment

    Rig assembly, calibration, sync validation and site setup.

  5. 05

    Data Collection

    Supervised sessions with daily throughput and coverage reporting.

  6. 06

    Quality Assurance

    Automated checks plus human review against the acceptance spec.

  7. 07

    Secure Delivery

    Structured, documented handover to your bucket or ours.

Our mission

To build the world's largest infrastructure for collecting real-world human demonstration data — the substrate that powers the next generation of embodied AI and robotics.

Today we build the infrastructure that generates the data. Tomorrow, the same network and datasets become the foundation for physical AI built in India, for the world.
