ARYABHATTA LABSPRE-SEED · MUMBAI · 2026

Agent infrastructure
for India's lending system.

Aryabhatta Labs builds two products on one agent stack.Origin8 — an autonomous origination workforce, lead generation across 12 retail + SME products, and WhatsApp-native customer onboarding for India's largest lenders.Litehouse — the AI-native lending operating system for India's longest tail of HFCs and NBFCs.

From a Top-5 bank's CBO renting an agent swarm by the disbursal, to a ₹400 Cr HFC chairman deploying our open-source operating system on his own RTX 6000 Ada — same agent fabric, same legal corpus, same 48-profile underwriting engine. End-to-end coverage of India's lending market.

02 · TWO ENDS, ONE STACK

India's lending market
has two ends.

The top — 25 large lenders — buys outcomes. The long tail — ~200 small HFCs and NBFCs plus another ~150 MFI/gold/vehicle finance NBFCs — needs sovereignty.

We sell to both. On one stack.

04 · WHY NOW

Six tailwinds. All converging.

Indian lending is at a once-in-a-generation infrastructure moment. ULI, AA, DPDP, FREE-AI, MCP, and open-weight models — all moving in the same direction, at the same time.

01

ULI

Unified Lending Interface at 136+ data services (Public Tech Platform for Frictionless Credit) — surrogate-income underwriting at population scale.

02

Account Aggregator

Framework with 100+ FIPs, billions of consents, deep BFSI penetration.

03

DPDP Act 2023 + Rules 2025

Notified 14 Nov 2025 — Consent Manager regime live; ₹2 Cr net-worth bar; 7-year consent retention; SDF DPIA/audit obligations.

Lenders running cloud-LLM stacks face structural compliance retrofit. Lenders on Litehouse comply by construction.

04

RBI FREE-AI

Released 13 Aug 2025 — seven sutras, six pillars, 26 recommendations, board-approved AI policy mandate. Both products map to FREE-AI as the regulatory backbone.

05

MCP standardised

Donated to Linux Foundation AAIF (Dec 2025). >10,000 active public servers. ~97M monthly SDK downloads. The interoperability layer is settled — agents can be portable.

06

Open-weight at parity

Qwen 3 32B (66.8% GPQA), Llama 3.3 70B Instruct (86% MMLU), Mistral fine-tunes for legal/financial extraction. On-prem inference is now economically viable.

05 · ONE STACK

Same agent fabric.
Same corpus.

Two go-to-markets because India's lending market has two ends — and we serve both. The shared infrastructure layer compounds across products.

06 · FOUNDER

Eight years of underwriting.

Malcolm Athaide — board director at Agrim Housing Finance. Co-built ATOM LOS that took Agrim from ₹117 Cr AUM (Mar 2023) to ₹314 Cr (Jun 2024). Co-built “Aryabhata Systems” — the ML platform Agrim still operates.

“For eight years I underwrote auto-rickshaw owners, kirana shopkeepers, dairy operators, weavers, tailors, and gig workers in semi-urban India. I lived through the file walks, the IT inspections, the CARE ratings calls, the back-to-back funding negotiations.Origin8 is what I wished existed when I was sourcing for a bank partner. Litehouse is what I wished existed when I was the small HFC trying to deploy AI without giving my borrower data to a US-hosted LLM API.”

We don't sell software.
We operate the rails.

Aryabhatta Labs operates the agent infrastructure on which Indian credit moves — from the Top-5 bank renting a swarm by the disbursal to the ₹400 Cr HFC running on its own RTX 6000 Ada.
