Jul 14, 2025
We’re proud to share that I-Stem was selected as a global finalist at the prestigious AI for Good Impact Awards 2025, held during the AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva . Out of over 320 applications worldwide, I-Stem was one of just 12 finalists recognized for impactful and ethical use of AI.
Organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in partnership with 40+ UN agencies and co-convened with the Government of Switzerland, the summit is the UN’s leading platform for using AI to solve global challenges.
I-Stem was shortlisted under the AI for People category for our inclusive platform Nclude, which uses AI to make digital content and career guidance accessible to persons with disabilities via voice-first tools on WhatsApp, IVR, and the web.
Our co-founders, Kartik Sawhney and Shakul Sonker, participated in the summit, sharing insights from our work and building networks with changemakers and policymakers across sectors. The summit was not just a recognition of our efforts, but also a great opportunity to learn, collaborate, and amplify the importance of inclusive tech.
We’re honored to be part of the global #AIforGood community and we’re just getting started.
