Methodology is too important
to leave to a chatbot.
RSMinds is built by a methodology expert at Yogatraya AIResearch LLP — for PhD scholars, supervisors, and postdoctoral researchers who refuse to ship work that breaks at peer review.

I have spent twenty years watching researchers fail in slow motion.
Not the careless ones. The careful ones — the PhD scholar who has read every paper in her area, designed her study meticulously, collected her data, and only at the dissertation defense discovers that her sampling frame disqualifies the conclusion. The clinician-researcher whose intervention trial cannot be published because his randomization protocol does not exist on paper. The postdoctoral fellow whose meta-analysis is rejected from three journals because PRISMA item 14 was answered ambiguously.
None of them are careless. None of them are lazy. They simply did not have anyone to ask at the moment they needed to ask.
Methodology is a conversation — it is meant to happen between a scholar and a more experienced one. India is home to one of the largest and most ambitious research communities in the world — so vast, and so hungry to do great work, that no number of mentors could ever sit beside every scholar at the exact moment they need to ask.
For two decades I have been one of the people in those conversations.
But a conversation needs someone on the other side — and one person can only be in so many at once. However many scholars I could sit with, there were always more waiting, at the very moment the answer mattered most.
In 2020, a COVID complication cost me my kidneys. Five years of dialysis followed, and a transplant in April 2025. It was in the long silence afterward — the enforced isolation of post-transplant recovery, alone in a quiet room in Thiruvananthapuram — that RSMinds and StatMinds were born. A second chance at life came with a second chance at time, and I knew exactly how to spend it. I kept seeing them — the next scholar at the next defense, standing alone with a question no one was there to answer. So I made a promise: fewer of them would ever stand there alone.
I built RSMinds to be the conversation.
And RSMinds is part of something larger. I started Yogatraya AI Research LLP to give students at every level the help they could not easily find elsewhere. Live today: RSMinds for researchers and StatMinds.in for statistics learners. Coming soon:TeacherMinds.com for school and college teachers, NursingMinds.in for nursing students and educators, BeautifulMinds.in for children with learning differences, and — further out — metayoga.ai and 5minutepause.com. Our YouTube communities — Research & StatMinds (@researchstatminds) and TeacherMinds — bring the same commitment to accessible learning. Different audiences, same conviction — that AI should give every learner the kind of patient, expert-led conversation once available only to the lucky few.
“AI should deepen human intelligence, not replace it.”

In gratitude — Dr. Ravi Kulkarni
Everything here began with a teacher. Dr. Ravi Kulkarni— Professor of Business Analytics at the Symbiosis Centre for Management & Human Resource Development (SCMHRD), and at S-VYASA Yoga University — trained me in statistics and research methods. He was one of the greatest teachers and a remarkable human being: an outstanding educator who shaped his students and colleagues with wisdom, dedication, and kindness.
Ravi Sir has passed away. The rigor and care he taught me live in every Mind we build. I dedicate this work to him.
With gratitude, and prayers for the departed soul. 🙏
What we noticed
Across more than a hundred Master's students supervised and nine PhD scholars mentored, a clear pattern emerged: methodology choices made early in a study — sample size, randomization, reporting standard alignment, instrument validation — quietly determine whether the project sails through peer review or stalls there. The choices are technical. The standards that govern them (CONSORT, PRISMA, STROBE, TIDieR, COSMIN, and more than a hundred others) are well-defined. The answers exist. Most scholars simply need an organized place to find them at the moment of the decision.
Large language models have made the writing itself faster and more fluent than ever — a genuinely useful capability that we build on. RSMinds adds the layer that sits naturally on top: structured, standard-anchored methodology guidance for each specific stage of a research project, organized the way a senior methodologist would walk a student through it.
The gap RSMinds & StatMinds fill
We built 23live research Minds, each specialized for one stage of the journey: the research question (Quest), the literature gap (Lit), study design (RCT, Quasi, Corr, Qual, Obs, Survey, Sced, Review, Outcome, Intervention), registration & ethics (Prospero, CTRI, Ethics), instruments (Scale, Surv, Kap), and reporting (Report).
Each Mind is wired to the international standards that govern its stage — the AI inside Quest knows FINER, inside RCT knows CONSORT, inside Intervention knows TIDieR. When a standard allows more than one valid path, the Mind says so — that honesty is what makes the guidance usable in a real protocol.
Then, where the study turns to numbers, StatMinds takes over — 94 verified tests across 9 analysis suites, from data cleaning and descriptives to SEM, survival analysis, and psychometrics, each with automatic assumption checks and APA-ready results. Between them, RSMinds and StatMinds cover the whole arc of a study — from the first question you ask to the last number you report — every step held to international standard.
India-first pricing (short research sprints from ₹299) is deliberate — the cost of rigorous method and honest statistics should never be the barrier to great research, anywhere in the world.
“Technology should capture the speed of thought without losing the depth of intent.”
— Dr. Rajesh S.K.
Our principles
Rigor over speed
Each AI suggestion in RSMinds is grounded in a specific reporting standard — CONSORT, PRISMA, TIDieR, COSMIN. We will not ship a Mind without that wiring, even if it delays a release.
Evidence over hype
Every number on this site is verifiable. We removed inflated claims during the 2026 rebuild because they could not be defended at peer-review scrutiny — the same standard we hold researchers to.
Accessible professional
Short research sprints from ₹299 (1 month) are a deliberate decision, not a positioning trick. A PhD scholar in Bengaluru and a postdoc in Berlin should access the same methodology AI on the same terms.
AI deepens, never replaces
RSMinds enforces standards and surfaces uncertainty — it does not pretend to be your statistician or your supervisor. Where AI judgment is shaky, the product flags it instead of fabricating confidence.
