Google acquires Bangalore-based AI startup Halli Labs

Google has snapped up yet another artificial intelligence (AI) startup. This time, it is Bengaluru-based Halli Labs, which claims to apply AI and machine learning (ML) techniques to old problems and domains. Halli Labs shared the news in a Medium post earlier today. "We will be joining Google's Next Billion Users team to help get more technology and information into more people's hands around the world," it noted in its post. Halli Labs was founded by Pankaj Gupta, who was earlier the CTO at the now-defunct Stayzilla.
