Karya’s mission is to leverage the AI revolution to create dignified earning and learning opportunities for low-income communities across the world. In India, our smartphone-based digital work platform has enabled over 120,000 people to build language datasets and evaluate AI models while earning fair wages. With pilots in Kenya and Ethiopia and partnerships with leading AI labs, we are advancing language technologies for underrepresented communities. By combining dignified digital work with frontier AI innovation, Karya hopes to build a new AI economy that is equitable, inclusive, and community driven.

Karya is seeking a Customer Success Lead to own revenue growth across our largest and most strategic accounts. This role sits at the intersection of enterprise sales, AI infrastructure, and social impact — structuring and driving complex deals with enterprises, government bodies, and research institutions, to serve our communities better.
