The Problem

Tamil Nadu's tech startups & citizens are being priced out.

Two deep pain-points exist right now — and no local startup is solving both simultaneously.

💸

AI API Bills Crushing Startups

Indian startups spend ₹50K–₹5L/month on OpenAI, Gemini & Anthropic APIs. For early-stage teams, this is existential. A free, powerful local AI layer would change everything.

🏛️

Citizen–Government Digital Gap

TN citizens still navigate fragmented, non-intuitive government portals. Application delays, redundant data entry & poor UX erode trust in Digital India. A unified citizen portal is overdue.

02 / 13
Our Answer

One startup. Three solution pillars.

We attack the problem from the infrastructure level up — so the economics work for everyone.

01

Free AI for All — J.U.L.I.E

A self-hosted, multi-foundational AI assistant that eliminates API costs. Runs on-premise, keeping data private & costs near-zero for any organisation.

Live · v2.0.0
02

Citizen OS for Tamil Nadu

A unified web portal connecting TN residents to government services — applications, status tracking, document management — in one seamless interface.

Live · Beta
03

Full-Stack Deep Tech Pipeline

H.A.K (cloud storage at ₹5/GB), P.U.L.S.A.R (AR/VR), Y.A.K.O (autonomous food delivery) — building a portfolio of IP-heavy products for scale.
