Behind every AI model is data, and behind every dataset are people. 💜
We were glad to be part of the launch of the AI-Data Skills Framework (AISF), developed by GxD hub at LEAD at Krea University , in partnership with The/Nudge at Charcha 2026.
The AISF is the first framework to name and standardise the skills of India’s AI-data workforce: the people who collect, label, annotate, review, and quality-check the data that powers AI. It maps five roles, from Data Associate to Data Specialist, to India’s national skills frameworks (NSQF/NCrF). That makes their work visible and gives them a base for credentials, training, and career growth.
At Myna Mahila Foundation, we were one of three organisations, along with NextWealth Entrepreneurs and Karya Inc, that shaped this framework through workshops and interviews. Our gig workers shared what their work really looks like, and their voices are in this report. 🙏
Thank you to the GxD hub and The/Nudge teams for including us, and to every worker who took the time to share their story with us.
