Microsoft Research Lab – India

“Microsoft Research India focuses on research that impacts science, Microsoft and society at large. Our work is inter-disciplinary, and we blend theory with practice, and computer science with social science. We work not only on great ideas, but also implement, deploy, experiment, contribute to and learn from the world around us. We collaborate freely with academia, NGOs and startups, and also play an active role in mentoring and training young researchers and technologists.”

At MSR India, people with different skill sets (algorithms and machine learning experts, systems builders, social scientists, researchers, engineers and others) come together to push the boundaries of what we know and what is possible. We respect and value people with diverse backgrounds, demographics, skill sets and perspectives as we work on difficult problems, and have fun in the process!

We recently announced the MSR India Center for Societal impact through Cloud and Artificial Intelligence (SCAI). SCAI focuses on creating, nurturing and deploying technologies that will have large scale impact on society through deep collaborations with academic groups, startups, NGOs and other organizations that share our passion for positively impacting society through technology.
