Sarvam AI to Build India’s First Homegrown AI Model

In a significant move towards technological self-reliance, the Government of India has chosen Bengaluru-based startup Sarvam AI to develop the country’s first indigenous large language model (LLM) under the ambitious IndiaAI Mission.

Sarvam AI, founded in 2023 by Vivek Raghavan and Pratyush Kumar, aims to create a sovereign AI model tailored to India’s linguistic and cultural diversity. The model will be built, deployed, and optimized entirely within India, utilizing local infrastructure and talent.
