Microsoft Research India
Microsoft Research India brings together scientists, researchers, and engineers with backgrounds in algorithms, machine learning and AI, systems and socio-technical systems that empower marginalized populations. The lab also includes a Center for Societal impact through Cloud and Artificial Intelligence (SCAI) that focuses on creating, nurturing and deploying technologies that will have large scale impact on society through deep collaborations with academic groups, startups, NGOs and other organizations that share our passion for positively impacting society through technology.
“Microsoft Research India seeks to push the frontiers in computer science and allied areas to positively impact people across the world, whether they are researchers exploring technology at the cutting edge or underserved populations looking to benefit from technology. We engage and collaborate not only with colleagues across Microsoft, but also with academia, government, startups, and more. We share our work with the world through publications and open-source software, and actively mentor and support young talent both at the lab and beyond.“
