SAKUN is an AI company for banking, payments and public policy. We build the models, simulations and decision tools that institutions use to understand how citizens and businesses behave. We help AI companies everywhere build their own team in India. And we put part of what we build to work on food, farming and wellness.
AI for banks, payment networks and governments: risk, fraud, econometrics and simulation.
Banking · Payments · Sovereign → PlatformA dedicated AI team in India for startups and AI companies worldwide, from five people to fifty.
Offshore at the smallest scale → PurposeResearch we do for its own sake: food, farming and wellness. This is how we give back.
Wellness · Food · Farming →We work where data is large, regulation is strict and decisions affect millions of people. We take every engagement from a first model through to production, and we build it so a regulator or auditor can follow every step.
Credit, risk and customer intelligence for banks, NBFCs and lenders.
Intelligence for real-time payment rails, processors and merchants.
Decision tools for central banks, ministries and public agencies.
Every economy is made of millions of individual decisions. We model how citizens and businesses actually respond to prices, rates, taxes and transfers, so leaders can see the likely range of outcomes before they act.
Bring together survey, administrative, transaction and satellite data under strict privacy controls.
Estimate how each household and firm type spends, saves, borrows and responds to change.
Run each scenario across a synthetic population and thousands of possible futures.
Compare outcomes by region, income group and sector, with every assumption visible.
A forecast tells you what may happen. A simulation tells you what happens if you act, and to whom.
Global Capability Centres used to be for large enterprises. We make the model work for startups and growing AI companies. You get dedicated engineers who work only on your product, at India cost, without setting up a company, payroll or office on day one.
Your team uses your tools, your repositories and your sprint rhythm. SAKUN handles everything needed to employ and support them locally.
Ship faster with a production pod for LLM apps, agents, evaluation and MLOps.
Add AI capability without disturbing your core engineering team.
Prove the model with a small team before committing to a full centre.
Agree the first 90-day goal with your CTO. We hire, equip and onboard the team.
The team works in your workflow. We manage the India side every day.
Add people and skills as your roadmap expands, from 5 up to 50.
When the time is right, move the team into your own India entity.

Tech for Good · our give-backThe same methods that help a bank or a ministry decide better can help a farmer, a family or a clinic. We set aside people, time and computing for open research in three areas that decide how well people live. We do this work because it should exist, not because someone is paying for it.
Practical tools for smallholder farmers, who grow much of the world's food with the least support.
Better decisions at the very start of the food chain.
Understanding what people eat, what it costs them, and how to make good food easier to choose.
Good food should be the easy choice.
Prevention-first tools that help people stay well, with privacy built in from the start.
Staying well matters more than getting well.
We work with universities, NGOs, farmer producer organisations and public bodies. If you are working on food, farming or wellness and need AI or data science support, we would like to hear from you.
Propose a research partnershipBanks, payment networks and governments cannot rely on a black box. Four rules apply to everything we build.
Every model output can be traced to its data and assumptions, in language a board or a regulator understands.
Your data stays in your cloud, your data centre or your country. We deploy where you need us to.
Economists, risk specialists and engineers work as one team, so the model answers the real question.
Validation, monitoring and documentation are part of the delivery, not an afterthought.
An AI programme for your bank or payment network, a policy model for your ministry, your first five engineers in India, or a research partnership. Every engagement starts with a conversation.
