Karya’s mission is to leverage the AI revolution to create dignified earning and learning opportunities for low-income communities across the world. In India, our smartphone-based digital work platform has enabled over 120,000 people to build language datasets and evaluate AI models while earning fair wages. With pilots in Kenya and Ethiopia and partnerships with leading AI labs, we are advancing language technologies for underrepresented communities. By combining dignified digital work with frontier AI innovation, Karya hopes to build a new AI economy that is equitable, inclusive, and community-driven.
We’ve already proven that high-quality AI data can be a vehicle for economic opportunity. Now, we are looking for a visionary builder to help us answer our next big moonshot: What are the next frontiers of dignified digital work that underserved communities can perform via a mobile phone, for which the global market is ready to pay fair and ethical wages?
We aren't looking for a manager; we are looking for a founder-at-heart. As an Entrepreneur in Residence,
you will be given the resources, the infrastructure, and the mission-critical "problem statements" to experiment, fail fast, and eventually scale a recent business vertical from scratch.
This is a high-autonomy, high-impact role designed for someone who thrives in the "chaos" of early-stage discovery.
The ideal candidate would have previously founded a startup or were a member of the core founding team (first 5 employees) of a 0-to-1 venture. You know exactly what it takes to build something out of nothing.
If you're excited about closing complex deals that directly fund dignified work for underserved communities, and want to shape GTM strategy at a mission-driven company, we'd love to hear from you.
