As a part of the initiative, the two institutions signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), striving to protect and document India's rich historical and archeological legacy using artificial intelligence (AI) and modern research techniques.

The partnership marks a new chapter in historical preservation, merging traditional scholarship with modern technological advancements. As a part of the agreement, The Asiatic Society will grant access to its archival collections and historical records. It will also provide scholarly guidance for research and preservation. Meanwhile, iLEAD will utilize its AI-driven innovation to restore manuscripts. This will ensure the longevity and accessibility of the document. The institute's proficiency in media production will work towards crafting documentaries and making history interesting and more accessible to the people.
