Why We Started AnnotationBox: A Founder’s Story
Back in 2020, we were leading AI projects ourselves—juggling between offshore vendors who didn’t “get it” and overcomplicated tools that left us doing the heavy lifting. One night, after yet another missed deadline and a wall of vague emails, we asked, ‘Why does it have to be this hard?‘
Our CEO, Ankit Sureka, had already built and scaled FloatingChip Internet Technologies, a digital agency where he worked closely with clients across various industries, including early-stage AI startups. He saw firsthand how messy and inefficient data annotation could be, even for the most promising teams. Ankit’s blend of technical depth (B.Tech in Computer Science) and business acumen (MBA in Finance & Marketing) gave him a unique perspective: this wasn’t just a service problem—it was a process and empathy problem.
So we made a decision.
We knew what we needed—a partner who felt like part of our team, who actually understood the data, and who cared as much as we did about getting it right.
That’s why Ankit founded AnnotationBox. Not as just another vendor, but as the data annotation services we wish we had. Transparent. Human. Obsessively precise. Built for builders, by builders.
