About Soket AI

Soket is an AI research firm headquartered in Bengaluru with a mission to build effective and generalised intelligence for humanity. We are focused on advancing frontier AI research through the development of large-scale foundation models in math, code and reasoning that are open, energy-efficient, multilingual, and responsible by design. Funded and supported by the IndiaAI Mission, Government of India.

Our work places a strong emphasis on India and the Global South, where access to high-quality AI systems remains limited despite immense linguistic and cultural diversity.

At Soket, we believe the future of AI should be accessible, scalable, and aligned with real-world societal needs. Our teams work across large language models, multimodal systems, speech technologies, reasoning systems, and large-scale AI infrastructure, with a strong focus on open research and practical deployment. We are deeply passionate about pushing the boundaries of AI research while building systems that are useful, trustworthy, and globally impactful.
