News & Events
Koita Foundation Signs MoU with TANUH, IISc's AI Centre of Excellence on AI-Driven Healthcare Solutions
August 2026 -We are delighted to share that Koita Foundation has signed an MoU with TANUH (Translational AI for Networked Universal Healthcare), an AI Centre of Excellence under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, New Delhi, hosted at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). The partnership will focus on research, development, deployment, and testing of AI-driven solutions.
As part of the collaboration, Koita Foundation, together with the Gates Foundation, will support TANUH in developing evaluation framework for Voice-to-Discrete Data (V2DD) solutions (voice scribing solutions) in India. Most existing voice scribing solutions has been designed around English-speaking settings and hasn't accounted for how healthcare conversations actually happen in India, which is usually multilingual with regional variations. Just as important, there's no standardised way today to measure how these systems perform once you bring them into an Indian setting.
The initiative will focus on building benchmark datasets, clinically relevant evaluation metrics and a testing platform to help assess V2DD solutions across various Indian languages and care settings. We look forward to advancing this work with our partners!

Implementing Digital and AI in Healthcare Is Fundamentally More Complex: Rizwan Koita to The Indian Express
July 2026 -Rizwan Koita, co-founder of Koita Foundation, sat down with The Indian Express to talk about why digital and AI adoption in healthcare has been so much harder than in sectors like banking or e-commerce — and what it will actually take to implement and take advantage of digital and AI tools in healthcare.
Mr Koita spoke about the four dimensions India needs to get right: building digital and AI tools designed for Indian realities, supporting hospitals in evaluating and purchasing digital and AI solutions, incorporating digital health & AI in medical education, and developing robust digital and AI standards and regulation for India. The conversation also covered KF's Centres of Excellence in partnership with IIT Bombay, Ashoka University, National Cancer Grid (Cancer), RSSDI (Diabetes) and FOGSI (Maternal healthcare) - and how they align with the four dimensions.
