Why We Founded DLYog Lab

DLYog Lab Research Services LLC was founded with a mission to explore and apply cutting-edge AI technologies—especially generative AI and intelligent agents—for social good. The company was co-founded by a husband and wife team, with Mousumi Chawdhury as the primary founder. Their personal experience as parents of a special needs child has deeply influenced their commitment to creating inclusive, impactful solutions. They believe AI has the power to address many pressing societal challenges, from accessibility to education, and are passionate about using technology to make a meaningful difference.

About Our Founders

DLYog Lab Research Services LLC is jointly operated by Mousumi Chawdhury and Tarun Chawdhury, in accordance with California Community Property law and IRS rules governing spousal ownership of single-member LLCs.

The founders may also hold other full-time or part-time roles at academic institutions, high schools, or companies. Their work with DLYog Lab is conducted independently and on a non-obligatory, occasional basis during personal time.

No employer resources or confidential information are used in any DLYog Lab activities. We respect the policies and interests of all employers and maintain a strict boundary between external employment and DLYog Lab initiatives.

Currently, DLYog Lab Research Services LLC does not have any employees, and its founders or members do not draw any compensation from the organization. The founders are also the initial investors, and while DLYog Lab is not currently seeking external investment or funding, this position may be reconsidered in the future. Interested parties are welcome to reach out at info@dlyog.com

Our Achievements and Intent

DLYog Lab Research Services LLC is a for-profit entity with a clear intent to build innovative solutions and monetize them through intellectual property and strategic partnerships. This distinction is important to separate our work from hobby or non-commercial classifications. We actively participate in hackathons, file patents, and license technologies developed through independent innovation.

We are proud winners of the TED AI 2024 SF Hackathon, where we showcased our AI4Echolalia™ app — “Empowering Speech Development with AI.” This patent-pending solution supports children with echolalia and aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals: Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being), Goal 4 (Quality Education), and Goal 10 (Reduced Inequalities).

We have also developed the IEP CoPilot app using LLAMA, which has been recognized by Meta for its potential in open-source AI advancements. While we do not work regularly due to various other professionla and personal responsibilities, we continue to explore growth opportunities and may onboard full-time inventors or founding members in the future. If you are interested in collaborating, please contact us at info@dlyog.com.

• We do not engage in academic or sponsored research through DLYog Lab.
• We conduct applied research using public AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, LLAMA, etc.) to develop practical solutions for real-world challenges.
• We may pursue patents on novel prototypes developed independently using DLYog Lab's Own resources.
• All hackathon or conference participation is carried out by founders in a personal capacity on behalf of DLYog Lab. The company assumes full responsibility and founders are not acting on behalf of any external employer.
• Hackathon Access Exception: Applications developed for hackathons, competitions, or research demonstrations may be temporarily accessible to authorized judges, evaluators, and limited competition participants outside our standard California service area solely for evaluation purposes. Such access is strictly limited to the competition period, does not constitute public service provision, and all participants are informed of the experimental and evaluation-only nature of such access.

• Minor Participation Policy

  • Founders’ children may take part in selected DLYog Lab activities only under direct parental supervision and with the prior written OK of the event organizer.
  • High‑school–aged daughter (14+): may volunteer at educational or Hackathon events (e.g., Tech Hackathon) on a learning‑only, non‑compensated basis, in line with California Labor Code §1290 et seq.
  • Younger child with special needs: is present primarily for caregiving purposes and serves as personal inspiration; not involved in any formal duties or compensated work. Occasional public presence reflects family-led advocacy, not promotional labor.
  • Consent Documentation: All parental consents and organizer approvals regarding minor participation are documented in writing and kept on file as part of company compliance.
  • All minor involvement is incidental, caregiving‑related, and never tied to commercial labor or compensation. Minors receive no access to proprietary data or decision‑making, and their presence does not affect staffing, evaluation, or investment choices.
• We welcome contact from any concerned stakeholder and will prioritize employer interests in the case of any potential conflict.

Definition of Research
