Join us to Create
and Build the Digital Future.
purpleHeads are primarily driven by passion. Passion to learn, write code, build things, keep it
simple and live a happy life. We are fortunate to have some of the most talented individuals with rich
experience from Fortune 100 companies, working with young, fearless minds.
Often, the true value of an idea is not the idea itself. Rather, it is the intent or the WHY that led to the creation of it.
At purpleSlate, we are eternal optimists and we strongly believe the Future is as much about the exciting opportunities that lie ahead of us in leveraging technology to augment human capability, which helps solve some of the complex problems faced by the next billion. As machines become smarter, our abilities need to scale up the knowledge chain.
It is no longer about WHAT you build but, as much about HOW you build software.
What our bright minds have to say.
The work environment is exciting, challenging, and feels like a family. My managers are mentors to me, who helped a lot to tweak my approach and perspective.
I never felt like working for a company or for a boss, but more like working for a friend. I enjoy the freedom and responsibility to take action and do the right thing.
To me personally, what appealed the most in purpleSlate is the learning experience.
The exposure to new technologies is immense and a great place to work and learn
Lots of opportunities to learn and the work culture is very impressive
Such an awesome and cool place to work. Looking forward for many years
Entire team works with so much passion which in turn drives each one of them towards their goals
Lucky to be the part of the purpleSlate family and a highly motivating place to work
We hire people for not who they were, but more for who they could become
Send an email to hello@purpleSlate.com or pick a time to reach our team. We would be more than happy to assist.
Just like any startup, we had our humble beginnings, starting with a team of two members (the co-founders) and today we are a passionate team of 100+.
We are a technology startup based out of Chennai, India. We are located at a quiet campus in one of the prime technology centers in Chennai. You can find us here. https://goo.gl/maps/cGJ53NHUfij8yLXR9
Good question. So, it goes like this. As per the color theory, the color Purple indicates all things good and positive in life. And, as a company, we at purpleSlate sincerely believe in continuous learning and sticking to the basics. As many Indians might know, Slate, is one of the very first learning instruments we are exposed to in life. Hence the name purpleSlate. I know, it sounds a bit too much. But, we seriously meant it.

What else can I tell you? Hmm. Let me think. The company was founded on 2nd Jan 2017 and has had an incredible growth journey since then. Almost every year we have added new team members and moved into a new, larger office space, which means we have been very much profitable as well. We really believe you can do great things quietly.
Good question. We are a bunch of geeks and we solve challenging industry problems leveraging modern-day digital technologies. We specialize on Language Interfaces and Conversational AI. Not a far-fetched claim; we feel (almost) any problem can be codified and we are up for it.
Very simple. Is your answer predominantly YES to all of these? Then, say Hello at people@purpleslate.com
I like solving problems.
I am good at creating things.
I can write beautiful code.
I am passionate about technology.
I like working in small teams.
I am a quick learner.
I want to leave an impact.
We also believe, these days, you can’t land a job just by submitting your resume. We really don’t care where you studied or where you worked. We love to see your work – be it coding skills or anything else that you are endowed with and which you feel would add value to purpleSlate. So, share with us your Github repo or other stuff that you built and that you are proud of.
Yes, we do hire from campuses and we believe firmly in grooming our own talent from schools.
We hire people for not who they were, but more for who they could become. Hence, for that same reason, we invest a good amount of our our time in curating our own talent from schools, that too not from the usual big name institutions (not that we don’t like them). But, from any place that is as anywhere it can get. School pedigree, doesn’t matter much to us.
Of course, yes. We always believe anytime is a great time to welcome great talent. Say Hello at people@purpleslate.com Or, to make it very simple, share with us your Github repo or other stuff that you built and that you are proud of.
If there is exciting and cutting-edge technology available, we will most likely be tinkering with it as we constantly experiment and refine our approach to solve some interesting problems. We are looking for individuals who are willing to learn and experiment with such technologies.
In addition, we are also looking for folks with expertise in Test Automation, using tools like Selenium, and creative people who are good at stuff like Content Writing and creating digital content, including Videos and illustrations.
While the vendor Speech and Language Understanding Services are good with regular English vocabulary, the biggest challenge for enterprises to achieve reliable and predictable accuracy levels is handling specialized vocabulary in their domain and its usage in day-to-day operations by their staff. For example, think of the medical vocabulary, the drug names, medical conditions, or the various part names in an automobile company. How would your chatbot respond to dialogs with medical terms like Cutaneous, thorax, glossopharyngeal, ventroflexion, Annealing, and Austentization? That’s what we call as domain-specific vocabulary, and it is very important for your Conversational AI application to have a deep maturity in language understanding of this vocabulary.
Garbage In – Garbage Out is very much a possibility in the case of Natural Language Understanding (NLU), because if we don’t process the text correctly, we will end up getting unwanted and irrelevant results from our applications and systems. It is not an easy task for machines to understand the language humans speak and the way we communicate. It is the nature of the human language that makes it difficult.
Smart Transcription focuses more on the Understanding part and achieving higher levels of accuracy in that.
Our customers come from diverse industries, but we have deep expertise in building applications in Banking, Insurance, Healthcare, Petcare, Engineering, and Education.
Awesome. We would be happy to show you our wares. Please pick a time here.
From the earliest days of the invention of computers, one fundamental question that has driven their evolution is how would humans interact with these devices. To perform a computation, to get an answer, or to get things done? So much so that, digital screens across all form factors have taken over our lives. There is almost a screen for anything we do in our life. On the other side, Conversations is in the middle of everything we do and human language is one of the most primal skill. With the ever-increasing ability of computers and devices to understand the language we speak, there is no better way and no better time than to reimagine the way we built interfaces – in the language we speak.
Ha, ha. Good question. We call it as ‘Get over the BOT hangover’. Not that we have a prejudice against any of the chatbots of today. As much as chatbots have become so ubiquitous today, the user experience of many of these chatbot implementations are far from desirable. It is our earnest goal to help improve the user experience and make the chatbot more useful. You can more about it here.
It depends. While our low-code platform accelerators help you with the desired time to market and get your conversational AI solution up and running in no time, there are other factors that affect the implementation costs. We would be more than happy to demystify the costs and please reach us here. One of the purpleHead would be happy to assist soon.
