Sarvam’s thesis for AI in India centers on four key ideas tailored to India’s unique needs. First, AI should be voice-enabled and cater to the country's many languages, making AI accessible to all. Second, India needs small, efficient AI models that can be customized for specific applications. Third, India requires AI agents that can perform tasks, not just provide information, simplifying daily life for users. Finally, AI development must respect India's sovereignty, keeping data within the country and adhering to local laws.
Vivek Raghavan, Co-Founder of Sarvam AI, said “We are thrilled to unveil our full-stack GenAI platform, which marks a pivotal moment for Sarvam AI and the Indian AI ecosystem. This launch is just the beginning of our journey. We will continue to enhance the capabilities of our platform with new features to ensure it meets the dynamic needs and scale of India.”
