Prosus-backed Deccan AI launches premium tier for AI training
Deccan AI, backed by global investor Prosus, just rolled out Deccan AI Experts—a premium service connecting labs worldwide with top Indian annotators to help train and evaluate advanced AI models.
The launch was announced in December 2025.
Who are the Deccan AI experts?
This network brings together scientists, engineers, and grads from places like IIT and IIM—basically people who know their stuff.
They handle everything from peer reviews to spotting data glitches and creating complex data for reinforcement learning.
Right now there are about 12,000 experts onboard, with a goal of reaching 50,000.
What makes this offering stand out?
Annotators here get better pay, and the service is aimed at big-name clients in tech, healthcare, finance—you name it.
Plus, Deccan's business has grown 10x in the last year alone.
How does Deccan stack up against rivals?
The space is crowded with US-based players like Scale (now owned by Meta), Surge AI, Outlier and more.
Still, launching this expert network is a big move for Deccan as it aims to deliver high-quality annotation services globally.
