AI Research Lab · Kanpur, India

Intelligence,
without the noise.

We build AI systems that operate in real environments — for real people, at real scale.

Most AI moves fast
and breaks things.

The real frontier of AI isn't what models can do in a sandbox. It's what systems can sustain under real load, with real data, for real users.

India has 1.4 billion reasons to build AI differently. We don't adapt global AI for India — we build AI that starts from here.

What we build
Engineering philosophy

We work in production.
Not in notebooks.

The gap between a working demo and a deployed system is where most AI fails. We build for that gap — designing for edge cases, real data volumes, and production failure modes from day one.

01

RAG Architectures

Retrieval-augmented generation designed for accuracy over recall — contextually faithful answers from the right knowledge sources.

02

Agentic Workflows

Systems that take actions, not just answers. Agents that plan, execute, and recover — operating autonomously on tasks that need it.

03

Production ML

Every model ships with inference infrastructure, monitoring, and the failure handling that separates a notebook from a deployed system.

04

Semantic Understanding

Transformer architectures tuned for specific domains — video, text, queries, conversations. Models that understand the problem.

“Every system we deploy is built to handle real load, real data, and real failure modes. We design for the edge case, not the demo.”

Prakhar has spent eight years building AI systems that get deployed — not shelved.

His work spans transformer architectures, retrieval-augmented generation, and agentic AI design. He's led enterprise chatbot platforms, built semantic video intelligence systems, and designed forecasting engines — all deployed, all measured.

He believes the most interesting AI problems are the ones that haven't been solved yet — the ones with messy data, constrained infrastructure, and users who can't afford for the system to fail.

“Translating complex business problems into intelligent software systems — that's the job. Everything else is commentary.”

What to expect

Come with an agendaYou'll be asked when booking: briefly describe what you'd like to work through. A project you're stuck on, a concept that isn't clicking, a role you're targeting — all around AI/ML engineering.
Video call, screen sharing welcomeSessions run on Cal Video — no app needed, just a browser link. Share your screen to walk through code, errors, or architecture. Camera optional but encouraged.
Conversation, not a lectureSessions are guided discussions. I won't write code for you or hand you answers — I'll help you think through problems yourself. Sessions are not recorded.
Speak however feels naturalEnglish or Hindi, or mix in Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, or Punjabi mid-sentence. No language barrier here.
What we coverAI/ML fundamentals, building real projects, navigating the AI job market, internship prep, career transitions into AI, and business AI consulting.
ReschedulingReschedule up to 24 hours before via Cal.com. No-shows on paid sessions forfeit the session fee.
What we don't doWe don't write your code, guarantee job placements, or offer refunds on completed sessions.
Our right to cancelZerotree Labs reserves the right to cancel or reschedule a booked session if we are unable to cater to it. In such cases, a full refund will be issued.
What people say
Prashant Agrahari

Great Mentorship, Great Learning and Great Experience. I belong to a non tech field and Prakhar Bhaiya's guidance has made me well equipped with the industry level skills required to make career in AI, based on my personal interest areas. The hand made and customised pathway, he made for me is truly inspiring and I strongly think that it could never have been better than this. Thanks Prakhar Bhaiya!

Where we are

From Kanpur,
for India.

The problems we solve are closer to us here. The users we build for are neighbors. AI built from here carries a different kind of intelligence — one that understands what it's actually like to operate in India.
