AMSEK Research Labs LLP

Applied research, carried through to the product.

We are a small, independent technology partnership in Kolkata, India. We work on location intelligence, on-device imaging and machine learning, and we take what comes out of that work all the way to a finished app — the research, the engineering and the product are the same job here.

What we work on

Four problems we keep returning to

These are not research interests we hope to get to. Each one is load-bearing in something we have built, and each one came out of a product that would not work without solving it properly.

  1. Location intelligence

    Real-time positioning for a small, trusted group: geo-fencing, movement and driving analysis, and state that stays consistent across devices when one of them has been off the network for hours.

  2. On-device imaging

    Finding and framing a face, separating a subject from its background, and encoding the result to an exact pixel size and an exact byte budget — fast enough to feel instant on a mid-range phone, with no server in the loop.

  3. Private‑by‑default architecture

    Designing so that the computation happens on the user's device rather than ours: encrypted local storage, nothing uploaded that does not have to be, and a data footprint small enough to describe honestly in one sentence.

  4. Machine-readable rules

    Turning published requirements — the specification buried in an examination notice or a visa page — into rules software can check, each one carrying its source and the date a human last verified it.

Products

Two mobile products, both approaching release

We design, build, test and run everything ourselves — the app, the backend where there is one, the store listing and the support that follows it.

Location sharing

Loxymity

A private live map for a family or a close circle: where everyone is right now, SOS alerts, geo-fences, driving reports and chat — built to keep working when a phone loses signal, and never to sell anyone's location.

Invite-only; store listings in preparation

Document imaging

Aptafix

Makes a photo or a signature match exactly what a form demands — the pixels, the kilobytes, the file format and the background — and checks it against the form's published rules before anything is uploaded.

In build; coming soon to both stores

Working with us

Partners, investors and people who build

Partnership and distribution

We are interested in talking to people who can put these products in front of the right users — distribution partners, operators and organisations with a problem in location or document handling that our work already touches.

If that is you, tell us what you have in mind and we will reply properly.

Investment

AMSEK is independent and self-funded. We are open to conversations with investors who are patient about release dates and unromantic about the alternative: products that work offline, cost little to run, and do not resell user data.

We will share what we have built and what it has cost. We will not share numbers we have not earned yet.

Careers

We are two people and we hire rarely, so there are no listed openings today. That is not the same as not wanting to hear from you.

If you build mobile products end to end — Swift or Kotlin, React Native, on-device machine learning, or the research that goes in front of it — write to us with something you have actually shipped and what you did on it.

Contact

One address, read by the people who build this

Enquiries, partnerships, investment and job applications all reach us at the same place. There is no form, no tracker and no queue — it is a short list of people.

For help with a specific app, mention which one — Loxymity or Aptafix — and the phone you are using. Each product has its own privacy policy on its own site; this one covers the company and this website.
