About Manas Labs
Research with a clear purpose.
Manas Labs is an applied AI research studio in Stanmore, Greater London, led by Shilpa Yadav, Director & Chief Architect.
Understand the approach before committing to it.
We help product teams and domain specialists investigate whether an AI approach is useful for a defined task. The work ranges from feasibility and focused prototypes to evaluating an existing model's answers.
A good investigation starts with a decision someone needs to make. It should end with inspectable reasoning, a record of what was tested and a clear explanation of the uncertainty that remains.
The name Manas comes from the Sanskrit word for mind. It reflects the importance we place on understanding the question before choosing a tool.
Who you speak with
Shilpa Yadav
Shilpa Yadav is Director & Chief Architect of Manas Labs. Initial conversations focus on the task, the material available and the decision the work needs to inform.
The engagement scope identifies responsibilities, required domain input and review points. The method follows the problem rather than a preferred technology.
Discuss a research question ↗What our public work represents.
Our internal portfolio contains exploratory concepts and reference architecture. Each item states its status. The worked answer-review example is an authored teaching exercise, with its source and reasoning available to inspect.
We distinguish those materials from measured client outcomes. A useful experiment can recommend a narrower question or stopping; that is a legitimate result when the reasoning supports it.
Manas Labs focuses on research and evaluation. Softomate Solutions handles software implementation and business automation as a separately scoped service. You can also take the findings to your own delivery team.
