From a Vision to a Movement
Zero AI Foundation was born from a simple observation: while AI was transforming the world, millions of Indians remained unaware of its potential and implications. The gap between those who understood AI and those who didn't was widening every day.
In 2024, a group of educators, researchers, and technologists came together with a shared vision — to democratize AI knowledge and make it accessible to every Indian citizen, regardless of their background or location.
India, the land that gave the world the concept of Zero, has always been at the forefront of mathematical and scientific innovation. We believe it's time for India to lead the AI revolution — but responsibly, ethically, and inclusively.
Today, Zero AI Foundation has grown into a movement with thousands of volunteers, multiple programs, and a presence across 50+ cities and villages. But we're just getting started.
