About ORAI

Our Story

ORAI (Open Robotics and AI) was founded with a simple yet powerful idea: technology education should be a right, not a privilege. Our founder, Advay Arashanapalli, saw a growing gap between the rapid advancements in AI and robotics and the access to this knowledge in underserved communities.

What started as a single workshop in a local community center has grown into a movement. We are dedicated to demystifying complex technologies and empowering individuals to become creators, thinkers, and leaders in the digital age.

Our Mission

To raise awareness and educate marginal communities on Robotics and AI, fostering a new generation of diverse thinkers and leaders in technology. We are dedicated to breaking down barriers and creating inclusive pathways to innovation.
