With nearly 1.4 billion people, India is the second-most populated country in the world. Yet Indian languages, like Hindi and Tamil, are underrepresented on the web.

Hence, I'm trying to leverage Intel's state-of-the-art technology to build better models in an aim towards improving the web experiences of the 1.4 billion people of India.
