Our initiatives.

Our aim is to make technology something every Keralite can learn, use and shape. AI Connect Keralam is already running, and the other initiatives are being built with our members, fellows and partners.

Six areas, one aim.

Each area grows into programmes as members, fellows and partners join. AI Connect Keralam shows the model: start small, meet often, build together.

AI Connect Keralam

AI Connect Keralam.

Our flagship initiative and Kerala’s AI community. Developers, designers, students, researchers, founders and AI enthusiasts meet to learn, connect, collaborate and build with AI, through meetups, expert talks and hands-on sessions across the state and online.
