Building practical AI and digital systems for Northeast India.
Badal Nyalang is the founder of MWire Labs, where he leads AI, data, and digital transformation projects across government, community organisations, and rural development programs in Northeast India. His work centers on solving real, on-the-ground challenges through technology that is simple, locally relevant, and built for long-term impact.
For the past several years, he has worked directly with field teams, government departments, agriculture networks, cultural bodies, and educational institutions to design systems that improve data workflows, strengthen decision-making, and preserve linguistic and cultural heritage.
