About Anuvaya Labs
Anuvaya Labs is an AI research lab in New Delhi building general-purpose AI models for Bharat. We use sovereign data to build AI models that solve India-specific problems
About the study
We're conducting research studies with domain experts in various foundational fields. This gives us context about the problems practitioners in the field solve, their reasoning principles and delivery style among other benchmarks.
This is a fully remote, 2-day study. Participants have to answer a questionnaire about their domain modeled on real frequently asked questions by clients and interact with team members posing as clients.
What the two days look like
We build a customised questionnaire for each participant based on their experience and area of work, the questionnaire also includes interactive sections where members of our team step in and ask certain different questions to add more perspective. Sessions run for 8-9 hours a day with ample of breaks. No need for any advance preparation.
What you'll need: a computer with a webcam and microphone, a stable internet connection, and a quiet space.
Who we're looking for
An undergraduate degree in law (LLB or equivalent)
5+ years in a client-facing legal role or in legal research, such as advocate, legal advisor, in-house counsel or legal researcher
Comfortable explaining your reasoning in English, Hindi or another Indian language
