"We want all Indian students to have free access to high-quality AI resources. The majority of individuals in India and other emerging economies are still unable to afford high-end AI models due to their exorbitant cost. Redrob's innovations provide high-quality performance at a fraction of the cost thanks to sophisticated machine learning techniques," according to Kartikey Handa, chief operating officer and head of India operations.

By providing free, unlimited LLM access to students, Redrob hopes to democratize access to AI in India. It targets a core market of 300 million learners as well as professionals and businesses, especially in HR and sales.
