Everything About Us

Who We Are.

We are Carnot Research, a deep-tech AI company founded by professors, scientists, and engineers from top IITs, driven by a common mission: to bridge cutting-edge research with real-world deployment. Our team brings together over 120 years of collective experience in AI, NLP, and systems engineering, backed by multiple patents and top-tier publications.

We specialize in building trustworthy, secure, and high-impact AI systems — particularly for high-stakes sectors such as government, enterprise, and regulated industries.


Founders

  • Prof. Brejesh Lall, IIT Delhi
  • Dr. Amit Oberoi, IIT Delhi

What we Do.

At Carnot, we build and deploy secure, on-premise GenAI systems with a strong focus on:

  • Multimodal data ingestion (PDFs, web, YouTube, scanned docs)
  • LLM-based Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with verifiable citations
  • Conversational AI with agentic workflows for governance and enterprises
  • Custom NLP and document intelligence solutions
  • LLM + VLM integration for visual reasoning and OCR-based tasks
  • Tech skilling and AI capability development for industry and public sector

Our ability to conduct managed, deployable research sets us apart. We partner with organizations to convert deep-tech research into scalable tools, applications, and IP that directly serve strategic or operational needs.

Our Mission.

Our mission is to enable responsible, domain-specific AI adoption across industries and governments. Whether it's powering public-facing governance chatbots, automating knowledge from policy documents, or deploying enterprise RAG systems — we deliver AI that works on-ground, at-scale, and in-context.

Our core strengths lie in NLP, Vision-Language models, and agentic systems, with seamless linkages to IoT, Cybersecurity, and Blockchain where required. From startups to Fortune 500s to ministries, we are building the infrastructure for India's next leap in AI-driven transformation.

Research Areas

We conduct research in primarily 2 areas.

Natural Language Processing

At Carnot Research, our NLP work focuses on building deployable, domain-specific language models that extract intelligence from unstructured, multilingual, and multimodal data — such as documents, web pages, audio, video, and scanned PDFs. Our goal is to make machines truly understand, reason with, and generate human language in contextually grounded, verifiable ways.

We help organizations unlock insights from complex data — including policy documents, regulations, citizen queries, support tickets, contracts, feedback forms, and media content — powering more responsive, intelligent, and scalable systems.
