Abstract
Kohara is a company that enables low cost AI for small and medium businesses. We do this by crowdsourcing compute from smartphones. Think of AirBnB but with smartphones. Kohara mean ‘Fog’ in Hindi (pronounced ko-HAH-Arrah – all soft a’s and rolling the r’s). We’re not working in the cloud, but “The Fog” of the Internet of Things (IoT). The combo of mobile, edge, and AI/ML creates a hyperconvergence of tech, which is now being referred to as the 4th industrial revolution.
We are an AI/ML enablement company. The company’s objective is to provide additional, low-cost AI/ML compute capacity while smartphones are idle and charging.
