Awaaz — "Your Mother Tongue, Our Banking Language" — an end-to-end Speech-to-Reasoning-to-Speech (S2R2S) system built on the sovereign Sarvam AI stack, acting as a real-time digital interpreter and cognitive co-pilot for frontline bank staff:
- Acoustic Intelligence — uses Saaras v3 streaming ASR to transcribe 22+ Indic languages, natively handling Indian code-mixed "Hinglish."
- Context-Aware Translation — a Sarvam-105B LLM "Banking Brain" goes beyond literal translation, recognizing banking jargon, product names, and account types for accurate contextual meaning.
- Agentic Process Guiding — identifies customer intent (e.g., a loan enquiry) in real time and dynamically guides staff through the required banking processes and checklists on-screen.
- Empathetic Synthesis & Auditing — narrates the staff's response back to the customer via Bulbul v3 TTS in their native language, then auto-generates a structured bilingual summary for bank records.
- Dual-track AI backend — combines system prompting for fast translation with Agentic RAG for real-time retrieval of factual bank policies, surfaced through a split-screen Linguistic Audit + Dynamic Guided Panel command center.
- Built entirely on India's sovereign Sarvam AI infrastructure for full data residency and DPDP Act 2023 compliance.
IEEE E-Summit, March 2026
Identified and demonstrated eight novel metadata-based attack vectors — termed Adversarial Metadata Injection — within the Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem. Proposed and implemented MCP Sentinel Gateway, a zero-trust middleware layer that sanitizes tool metadata before it reaches an LLM, preventing instruction hijacking and unauthorized data exfiltration in agentic tool-use pipelines.

An AI system designed to go beyond conversational chat by combining an LLM with Retrieval-Augmented Generation, persistent memory, and multi-tool orchestration to automate research workflows — addressing the fragmented, manual, and time-intensive nature of traditional research processes.
Architecture:
- RAG pipeline — documents are loaded, chunked, and embedded into a vector store; the most relevant chunks are retrieved via semantic search and passed to the LLM alongside the user's query as context.
- Multi-agent orchestration via MCP — a host client coordinates multiple MCP servers (including a Manim server for generating mathematical animations, plus arithmetic and logic tool servers) exposing tools, resources, and prompts to the LLM.
- Reasoning and memory — Gemini LLM handles advanced reasoning, with conversation history maintained for context-aware, multi-turn responses.
Future scope identified: voice-based interaction, real-time web data integration, graph-based memory (Neo4j), fully autonomous agents, and multimodal (image/video) support. manim-mcp-server · remote_expense_tracker_mcp_server · MultiagentSystem · mcp-client
