Data Curation Intern

We are looking for a detail-oriented and curious Data Curation Intern to help build high-quality datasets for training AI/ML models with a specific focus on Indian language and multilingual data. You will work with large open-source datasets (e.g., Sangraha by AI4Bharat) that require significant cleaning, structuring, and enrichment before they can be used effectively in model training pipelines.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role at the intersection of data engineering, linguistics, and AI. You will start with text data pipelines and progressively move toward preparing data for read-speech and voice model training.

What Were Looking For
Must Have
Strong attention to detail you notice inconsistencies others miss
Comfort with Python for data processing (pandas, regex, basic NLP libraries like spaCy or NLTK)
Familiarity with text data formats: CSV, JSONL, Parquet, plain text corpora
Curiosity about AI/ML, language technology, or computational linguistics
Ability to work independently, document work clearly, and communicate blockers early
Good to Have
Prior exposure to NLP datasets or open-source language resources (IndicNLP, AI4Bharat, Hugging Face datasets)
Knowledge of one or more Indian languages beyond English
Experience with data versioning tools (DVC, Git-LFS) or dataset platforms (Hugging Face Hub)
Basic understanding of how language models or speech models are trained

Why This Role
Work directly on real data pipelines that feed AI model training not toy projects
Gain hands-on experience with large-scale multilingual and Indic language datasets
Build skills that are in high demand across AI labs, speech companies, and NLP startups
Clear progression path: text read speech voice data, with increasing responsibility
Mentorship from people who have built data and AI systems at scale
