Why Patram
Why Patram: India's paper trail, understood
India runs on documents: forms, orders, certificates, bills and records, in many scripts and formats. Much of it is still read by hand.
India runs on paper
Government orders, land records, insurance policies, bank statements, medical reports and court filings. Most arrive scanned or photographed, with stamps, signatures and handwriting.
Reading is not understanding
OCR turns a page into text and leaves a second system to make sense of it. Patram reads the image and answers directly: which dates changed, what the table says.
Built on Indian formats
Trained on real Indian documents, from Aadhaar formats, IFSC codes and cheques to stamps, seals and government forms, as they actually arrive: scanned or photographed.
Documents stay private
Documents often carry personal data that should not leave the building. Patram's weights are open, so it can run inside your own systems, on your own servers.

How it reads
Built to read the way humans do
Patram takes in the whole image at once: headings, tables, stamps and signatures, and how they sit together. Then it answers in words.
Illustration of how a vision language model reads a page.
One model, no OCR step
From pixels to words, in one pass
The image is cut into small patches. Patram's vision encoder turns each patch into something its language model can read, and the answer comes out word by word.
Illustration. Each square is one patch of the image.
Patram 1.2 on Indian documents
Two real answers: reasoning through an insurance claim form, and reading a scanned government notice word for word.

Patram 1.2 answersInsurance claim form · Step-by-step reasoning
Thinking step by step:
- The document contains a section titled 'Important Instructions' which outlines the procedure for filling the form.
- The instructions state that the form must be filled out completely and accurately, with 'Not Applicable' or 'N/A' written where questions do not apply.
- The instructions also specify that the treating doctor's certificate or medical report (Annexure 1) must be submitted.
- The form includes a section 'IV. NATURE OF CLAIM' with checkboxes for different types of claims, and a note stating that only one of the listed benefits can be claimed for the same injury.
- The form requires details in sections I through IV, including claim intimation, policyholder details, insured person details, and nature of claim.
Fill out the form completely and accurately, write 'Not Applicable' or 'N/A' where questions do not apply, submit the treating doctor's certificate or medical report (Annexure 1), and select only one nature of claim from the options provided.
