## What I Do

Sai Dutta Abhishek Dash builds at the intersection of three domains:

1. **Language AI for underserved markets** — Tokenizer optimization, LLMs, speech recognition, and translation for low-resource Indian languages. Building the first commercial Odia-specific AI API for 38 million speakers.
2. **On-device ML and edge security** — Sub-100KB inference models, phishing detection, and model quantization for production deployment on consumer hardware, routers, and lightweight VPS instances.
3. **Privacy-first infrastructure** — Zero-knowledge architectures, on-device processing, encrypted communication systems, and self-hosted platforms.

## Maelis Research

Maelis Research is a language AI venture founded in 2026, based in Dhenkanal, Odisha, building language AI infrastructure for Odia and other low-resource Indian languages.

**Why it exists:** 38 million people speak Odia. No commercial Odia-specific AI API existed before Maelis Research. For comparison, Norwegian (5M speakers), Greek (13M), and Dutch (25M) all have robust language AI support.

**What it is building:**

- **Odia-optimized tokenizer** — 3x more efficient than generic alternatives for Brahmic scripts
- **Lekhani** — Odia-exclusive LLM family in capability tiers (Pada, Chhanda, Kavya, Mahakavya)
- **Shruti** — Odia speech recognition and synthesis
- **Anuvada** — Odia translation with cultural context
- **odia-eval-benchmark** — 121,947 rows, 7 task families, 34 datasets, published on Hugging Face

All research released under Apache 2.0. DPIIT Startup Recognition. Positioned for IndiaAI Mission.
