WellHired's take
“Lexsi Labs sits at a genuinely rare intersection in the Indian AI ecosystem - a small, research-driven lab explicitly focused on AI alignment, interpretability, and safety (not just capability), the same problem space that major global labs like Anthropic are built around, but based out of Mumbai. Given the very small team size, expect enormous ownership and direct exposure to frontier AI research questions rather than applied engineering on someone else's roadmap - a strong fit if alignment and interpretability genuinely interest you, less so if you want an established, process-heavy environment.”
About Lexsi Labs
Lexsi Labs (formerly AryaXAI) is an AI research and engineering company founded by Vinay Kumar Sankarapu, an IIT Bombay alumnus, with roots as Arya.ai and a public relaunch as Lexsi Labs in late 2025, operating out of Mumbai with a presence in London. The company's work spans agentic AI, alignment, interpretability, evaluation systems, enterprise AI, and foundational model research across structured, tabular, and enterprise data - building AI systems where transparency, auditability, robustness, and controllability are treated as first-class engineering constraints rather than afterthoughts.
Build the scientific and engineering foundations for AI systems that reason deeply, explain their thinking, and remain aligned with human values and intent, even as they scale toward superintelligence.
Values & culture
Open ideas and intellectual honesty
Ownership over ambiguity
Transparency and auditability as design constraints
Research rigor paired with hands-on shipping
Safety as a first-class constraint
transparency, auditability, and controllability are built in, not bolted on.
Ambiguity is the job
interns and researchers alike are expected to turn open-ended problems into real outcomes.
Research meets production
work should translate into the Lexsi.ai platform, not stay purely academic.
