I have a Masters in Artificial Intelligence from Columbia University. \n\n**Problem**\n\nAI startups have massive data annotation needs. Current solutions charge hundreds of dollars **an hour** to fulfill these, basis complexity.\n\n**Solution**\n\nVahan has access to a pool of over 6M gig-workers in India. We are able to farm out data annotation tasks to this pool and get them done at **super low costs** (5-10X cheaper based on use case) since these workers are based in India, while guaranteeing high quality.\n\nInterested? please reach out by writing to me at [madhav@vahan.ai](mailto:madhav@vahan.ai).","slug":"ImB-vahan-super-cheap-data-annotation-service","created_at":"2023-06-22T16:33:31.000Z","updated_at":"2026-07-22T08:53:44.906Z","total_vote_count":12,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/ImB-vahan-super-cheap-data-annotation-service","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":12738,"name":"Vahan","slug":"vahan","url":"https://vahan.ai","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/970b0a4ef3d00dbfd511f2fe9ccdb3e524078221.png","batch":"Summer 2019","industry":"B2B","tags":["AI"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/12738"}}
