Apurva. ai evolves Apurva LENS into a collaborative development platform

Apurva. ai, an AI-enabled digital infrastructure supported by Rohini and Nandan Nilekani, has announced a transition for its Apurva LENS product. The tool is evolving from an organizational knowledge workspace into a platform designed for cross-organizational learning and collaboration within the wider development ecosystem.

Apurva LENS aims to help funders, governments, NGOs, and change leaders synthesize knowledge that is typically siloed across research, evaluations, and program experiences. The platform is intended to facilitate collective sense-making to address complex social challenges, particularly in the Global South. To date, the tool has surfaced more than half a million perspectives from various communities to help shape developmental responses.
