Our story

Started in Lucknow, built for Bharat

India's next 500 million internet users live in towns like Kanpur, Varanasi, Gorakhpur and Patna. They speak Hinglish, use budget phones and shop on mobile data.

Yet most products are designed and tested in a handful of metros, in English, on fast Wi-Fi. The result is chatbots that don't understand, checkouts people abandon, and apps that feel built for someone else.

AI Yuva was started in Lucknow by a student founder, Shashwat Raj, with his father Anurag Srivastava, to close that gap. We connect product teams with real people across Tier-2 and Tier-3 India, record how they actually use a product, and use AI to turn those sessions into clear, practical fixes — fast.

A young idea, backed by real-world experience

AI Yuva is a father-and-son venture from Lucknow — a student's fresh view of how technology should work, guided by years of experience building and running businesses.

Shashwat Raj

Founder & Idea Creator

Student, Class 8CMS, Lucknow

AI Yuva began as Shashwat's idea. Growing up with smartphones and AI tools, he noticed something most product teams miss: the apps and chatbots that seem simple in big cities often confuse everyday users who speak Hinglish, use budget phones and are new to digital services.

His question was simple — why don't companies test their products with the people who will actually use them? That question became AI Yuva: a way for real people across Bharat to shape the technology built for them, and earn while doing it.

Shashwat continues to shape the product vision, the tester experience and the way AI Yuva speaks to young, first-time internet users.

Anurag Srivastava

Co-founder & Mentor

Father of Shashwat RajBusiness & expansion

Anurag turns Shashwat's idea into a working business. An entrepreneur from Lucknow with experience running projects and building ventures, he leads AI Yuva's business plan, operations, partnerships and compliance.

He brings the practical side that a new company needs — pricing, contracts, GST and payments, building the tester network across Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, and planning AI Yuva's expansion to new states and languages.

His role is to support and guide, so the vision stays Shashwat's while the business grows on strong, sustainable foundations.
