The challenge
Your business knows more than your teams can easily find.
Critical information sits across shared folders, scanned records, spreadsheets, manuals — and in the heads of a few experienced people. Finding the right answer means opening multiple files, guessing which version is current, or waiting for someone who knows.
Which version is current?
Illustration: one procedure saved as several conflicting files — a shared-drive copy, an emailed version 3, a scanned handwritten log and a spreadsheet — with no reliable way to tell which one is approved.
Find the right information
Search across all company knowledge without remembering filenames, folder paths or who saved what.
Work from approved instructions
Every employee gets the current, approved procedure for their role — never a superseded copy.
Keep expertise in the business
Turn practical experience of senior staff into reviewed, reusable knowledge before it walks out the door.

SOP & knowledge spotlight
Make your best practices part of everyday work.
An experienced employee knows how to handle an unusual issue. A manual holds the answer to a recurring question. An updated SOP introduces a better process. Shodh turns each into knowledge the right person can access when needed.

FAQs
Questions enterprises ask us.
What is Shodh?
Shodh is a private enterprise AI platform that helps organisations organise documents, search internal knowledge, manage SOPs and automate selected workflows using their own data — deployed within their own infrastructure.
Does Shodh send our information to external AI services?
No. Shodh's on-premise deployment runs document processing, search indexing and AI inference locally. Any optional external connections are scoped separately during deployment.
Do we need to train an AI model on all our documents?
No. Shodh retrieves relevant information from your knowledge base when answering (retrieval-augmented generation). Updated documents are re-indexed without retraining. Fine-tuning is a separate option for specialised tasks where it provides a measurable benefit.
Can employees see confidential information from other departments?
Access is controlled through permissions. Search and answers are limited to the information each employee is authorised to access.
Can Shodh work with scanned documents?
Yes. Shodh processes scans to make their contents searchable and extract fields. Results depend on scan quality and layout; uncertain extractions are routed for review.
Can Shodh create and update SOPs?
Shodh prepares drafts, compares revisions and supports review workflows. Designated owners approve procedures before they become official instructions.
Does Shodh support Indian languages?
Shodh supports multilingual workflows including English, Hindi, Gujarati and other regional languages, with required languages and capabilities confirmed during deployment.
Can Shodh connect to our existing systems?
Yes. Connections to ERP, file shares, databases and other software are scoped around available interfaces and security requirements. The deployment plan defines what Shodh can do within each.
What hardware is required?
It depends on document volume, model selection, concurrent users and tasks. Infrastructure is sized to your workload — from a single GPU server for a pilot to a multi-node cluster.
How is Shodh priced?
Pricing is scoped to deployment size, selected capabilities, integrations and support. Beta participants receive a proposal based on their use case.
