Hi. My name is Anirudha Joshi.

I am a faculty member in the IDC School of Design, IIT Bombay. In our “Interaction Design for Indian Needs” group in IDC, we try to solve some age-old problems by leveraging new technologies. We have worked in diverse domains including healthcare, literacy, Indian language text input, usable security, banking, education, accessibility, industrial equipment, and packaging, and for diverse users including emergent users, older adults, visually impaired, illiterate and those with less education, farmers, pregnant poor in urban India, and people living with HIV / AIDS.

Swarachakra is a keyboard designed by several designers and researchers in IIT Bombay to input text in 12 Indian languages on Android devices. Swarachakra is available on Google Play Store as I write this (October 2025), and it is preferable to download it from there. But sometimes it becomes unavailable in Play Store. In that case, you can try the following links:
