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.
Built by Dr. Rajesh S.K.
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 supposed to happen between a scholar and a more experienced one. In India, most scholars do not have that conversation — there are not enough methodologists, and the ones we have are stretched too thin to answer every question that needs answering.
For two decades I have been one of the people in those conversations. Nine PhD scholars mentored. More than a hundred Master's students supervised. Fifty peer-reviewed papers. Twenty years of methodology research. Researchers reach out from across India and beyond — and most of them, I cannot reach in time.
Then in 2020, COVID failed my kidneys. Five years of dialysis. A transplant in April 2025. The blueprints for RSMinds were drawn in the long silence that came after — built alone in a quiet room in Thiruvananthapuram, by a person who finally had time and a borrowed kidney that worked, and who could not stop seeing the next defense, the next unread methods chapter, the next scholar standing alone in front of a committee.
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. RSMinds for researchers. StatMinds.in for statistics learners. CBSEMinds.com for school students working through the CBSE curriculum. BeautifulMinds.in for children with learning differences. Different audiences, same conviction — that AI should give every learner the kind of patient, expert-led conversation that has historically only been available to the lucky few.
“AI should deepen human intelligence, not replace it.”
— Dr. Rajesh S.K.
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 fills
We built 1 live research workflow Minds, each specialized for one stage of the pipeline: research question (Quest), literature gap (Lit), study design (RCT, Quasi, Corr, Qual, Obs, Survey, Sced, Review, Outcome, Intervention), registration and 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 prompts inside Quest know FINER. The AI prompts inside RCT know CONSORT. The AI prompts inside Intervention know TIDieR. When a standard offers more than one valid path for a specific case, the Mind says so — that transparency is what makes the recommendation usable in a real protocol.
India-first pricing (short-sprint plans from ₹299) is deliberate. The largest population of PhD scholars outside the US studies in India, and the cost of methodology support should not be a barrier to producing rigorous 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.
