Tarka Labs is a team of passionate hackers, designers and product managers. We believe in experimental methods to identify the best solutions to problems instead of working on technology du jour. The word Tarka has its origins in sanskrit that loosely translates to logic in english. We view the discipline of software development as a craft. This means that we are always striving to be better craftsmen today than we were yesterday.
Tarka Sastra is a science of dialectics, logic and reasoning, and art of debate that analyzes the nature and source of knowledge and its validity. - Wikipedia
