Jodhpur is more than the Sun City's forts and guar-gum mills. It now holds IIT Jodhpur, whose School of AI and Data Science and the Padma-funded AIDF (AI and Data Foundation) push real research, alongside…
This chapter is forming. 6 cities already meet as AI.Bharath.CLUB. Jodhpur is next, and the first twelve members set its character. We bring the structure, the playbook, and organizers who've done it before.
You remember mawa kachori from Janta Sweet Home, the makhaniya lassi so thick the spoon stands up, and Clock Tower at Sardar Market with the spice smell hitting before you turn the corner. There was Mehrangarh going gold at sunset over a sea of blue houses, kite strings cutting the sky every Makar Sankranti, the whole town slowing for a Marwari wedding band.

No cold rooms, no badge-scanning, no pitch decks. Just Jodhpur people who get it, the ones you'll wish you'd met five years ago.
IIT Jodhpur's School of AI and Data Science and AIIMS Jodhpur anchor serious work in medical imaging, NLP for Indian languages, and applied data science, with MBM University and NIFT feeding fresh engineering and design talent.
The Basni and Boranada belts run on handicraft furniture exports, guar gum, textiles, and steel re-rolling. These are MSME floors where demand forecasting, defect detection, and smarter export logistics could change the daily numbers.
A growing student-founder crowd around IIT Jodhpur's incubation cell, plus Marwari entrepreneurs coming home, are starting AI-first ventures. So far they build in isolation, with no steady local room to compare notes.
Forts, exports, research. AI next.
IIT Jodhpur's Karwar campus to the Clock Tower at Sardar Market, meetups and small tables with the people who do this work in Jodhpur.
Your Jodhpur card works in Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, and Puducherry too.
A job board, member asks, and people who vouch for each other when an opportunity opens.
Help your company, campus, or community adopt AI well, with the whole club behind you.
If you are from Jodhpur and you have been waiting for the right people to gather around AI, pull up a chair. Help us run the Blue City's first meet and get this going.
