Impact Sourcing isn't our story. It's why we're better, faster, and cheaper.

Most annotation vendors churn staff every 6–12 months because the work pays poorly and is treated as throwaway labour. IndiVillage runs 11 rural community offices in India, hires from communities where stable jobs are rare, and pays well above local norms. Result: 96% annual retention over 16 years.

Annotators who stay 5+ years build domain expertise that gig-platform labour can't match. That expertise compounds — accuracy climbs from year to year, errors clustered around the same edge cases get fixed once and stay fixed.

The procurement consequence: lower rework, faster pilot-to-production, cheaper unit economics. It's a competitive moat, not a CSR claim.
