Concrete over abstract
Real communities and real needs — whether the goal is a working command of AI tools or, first, the confidence to engage with them.
GLOBAL EMPOWERMENT THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Opportunity has always followed information
Closer you are to knowledge,better you do
Everyone knew it was unfair
But none had a solution
That's now Changed
And AI can meet a person in their own language, Spoken, not only written
Reach only the connected, and AI becomes the greatDisequalizer
Reach everyone, and AI becomes the greatEqualizer
A world in which artificial intelligence widens human opportunity across every community, rather than concentrating it among those who already have access.
To bring AI literacy and capability to underserved communities through free sessions delivered with partners worldwide — and to build, license and steward AI technologies that widen access to opportunity.
Real communities and real needs — whether the goal is a working command of AI tools or, first, the confidence to engage with them.
Pro bono, no conditions, no upsell. We are founder-funded and do not solicit donations.
We do not overclaim. Any specific factual claim we make about our work is true.
We develop and steward our own technology, which keeps the mission independent of any grant cycle.
We never talk down. The people we serve are capable; they have simply been far from the information.
We work through the organizations communities already trust — enabling them, not replacing them, down to preparing their own people to teach in the community's language.
Co-Founder · Lead AI Practitioner
Mia leads the technical and teaching heart of GETAI. A technologist by training, with prior telecommunications and software engineering experience at Qualcomm and Cognizant, she went on to complete the graduate program in AI from Stanford, and multiple other programs from MIT and Harvard.
A sought-after speaker on artificial intelligence, she turns that expertise toward the people usually last to receive it — designing and delivering different sessions herself, at no cost to the communities she teaches.
Co-Founder · Chairman
Vinay has spent more than two decades founding, incubating and investing in ventures and institutions across diverse geographies and industries. He holds an MBA from London Business School and completed Stanford's venture capital program.
He provides GETAI's institutional structure and strategic direction — including the stewardship model that keeps the foundation's work independent and sustainable for the long term.
Board Member
Tamara brings an engineer's training and more than a decade of corporate experience across India and the UAE to the Foundation's board. An Information Science engineer with an MBA from the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California, she began her career at Wipro working on enterprise systems and security, then moved into strategy and advisory work in Dubai — with Ipsos and, most recently, as a Senior Consultant with JLL.
An education-program mentor as far back as her Wipro years, her career has run from engineering teams to strategy rooms, spanning research, analytics and advisory work across a dozen industries. At GETAI, she is the considered third voice on the board — sharpening its decisions and strengthening the governance that keeps the foundation's work anchored to its mission for the long term.
The Bench
Beyond its founders, GETAI draws on volunteers from the VentureFactory.AI collective — engineers and leaders who choose to give working hours to this cause, with their companies sponsoring the time. We add to the bench carefully, and only with people who share the conviction that this work should be free.
Governance
GETAI Foundation is a Singapore company limited by guarantee — a non-profit governed by a small board, with a constitution that anchors its long-term direction to the mission.
Education is our first program, not our whole ambition. Wherever information gaps constrain who gets to participate, whether in learning, livelihoods, or opportunity, we build, license, and steward AI that closes them.
Work with us to deliver virtual or in-person sessions to your community, at no cost to participants or organizers.
