Thanks to Shashank and @Razorpay team for the partnership. Teams put this together overnight!
Massive opportunity in reimagining what the compute stack for a billion Indians looks like…
Shashank Kumar@shashank_kr
Every decade, the interface to commerce changes. Web → Apps → ? The next shift might be simpler than we think: Conversation. @Razorpay's partnership with @SarvamAI is a step in that direction.

Many kudos @vikramsampath and team. Has been a fantastic partnership for us at @SarvamAI. Excited for all the high quality stuff that the Naav platform will be able to create.
Dr. Vikram Sampath, FRHistS@vikramsampath
Red-letter day for @naav_ai as India's 1st AI assisted translated book in Kannada is the biography of India's 1st artist to embrace recording technology - Gauhar Jaan. Very grateful to renowned musician & president of @Sanskar_Bharati Dr @Violinmanjunath & senior technologist @RohiniSrivathsa for gracing the occasion as guests of honour in a program organised by the publisher @subbubooks ; our partner in building an integrated platform for long form text translation in Indic languages @SarvamAI @pratykumar @arijeet_sat ; our advisors Prof Shekar & @rameeshkailasam & the entire NAAV AI team.

Delighted to be a founding member of @nvidia's Nemotron coalition. Bullish on what the coalition can achieve together. And India's sensibilities of being voice-first, linguistically diverse, and cost efficient at population-scale will be at the global table shaping frontier research!

India’s startup ecosystem is special. Over the last decade, founders built extraordinary businesses by understanding India deeply. Now the AI opportunity is here. Of course adopting AI is a no-brainer. But the bigger question is - can some firms lead by building AI, can they convert their data advantage to model advantage...
To discuss the why, what, and how of building custom models and to share some nuggets from all our model drops, we are hosting an invite-only group of founders in our BLR office. DMs open. Its Friday, the 13th.

Team is excited about how well our LLMs do with just a ‘tutor’ prompt. Combined with our voice and vision models, plus our up coming AI device line up, we are all set to reimagine edtech.

And do check out the tutor mode, where the model helps students solve and learn concepts from the same JEE Mains 2026 questions. This is a small step towards the future of personalised teaching. Blog - sarvam.ai/blogs/sarvam-3…

Congratulations @RajanAnandan and team! Saw in the partners a rare early conviction in the following quote
“while the initial breakthroughs were concentrated in Silicon Valley, AI opportunities are now abundant in India and APAC”
Peak XV Partners@peakxvpartners
Three New Funds for Exceptional Founders in India, APAC and beyond 🚀 We are pleased to announce the closing of $1.3 billion in new capital commitments across our India Seed, India Venture, and APAC funds. Along with significant uninvested capital in our existing Growth fund, we are excited about our ability to back outlier founders building category defining companies, across multiple stages, as we have done for two decades. We are immensely grateful for the steadfast commitment from our Limited Partners (LPs) for our inaugural Peak XV funds. Many of our LPs are leading non-profit endowments and foundations, and serving them adds a special meaning to our work. We understand every fundraise is a responsibility to the founder ecosystem and to our LPs, and we are relentlessly committed to serving them. This is the most exciting time we have witnessed in our lifetimes. AI is transforming the world at an unprecedented pace, and while the initial breakthroughs were concentrated in Silicon Valley, AI opportunities are now abundant in India and APAC. The size, scale and sophistication of technology startups is deeply inspiring across both India and APAC. India’s FinTech ecosystem is already one of the most advanced in the world and the Consumer opportunity has decades of compounding ahead. The combination of technical innovation, deepening markets, quality of talent and increasing global ambition makes this an amazing time to be investing in the region. For those special founders who have a vision to change how something works and who combine ambition with execution, hustle with resilience and who wish to serve the world ahead of themselves, we are here to partner with you. 🙌 @sjs_day1 @mobhat @gvravishankar @RajanAnandan @i_sakshichopra @rohitagar_wal @abhishek_mohan

Clarification regarding a misquote on Deepseek - at @SarvamAI we admire the Deepseek team and follow and learn from their research.
The only point worth noting - the Sarvam 105B model achieves on reasoning benchmarks similar or better scores than the Deepseek R1 did when it was released. And we got there with a small team and with a smaller model size. This only points to the rapidly improving productivity gains in research as AI gets adopted by LLM teams across the world.
More details coming soon in our technical blog. Until then, try out the model on Indus and give us your feedback: indus.sarvam.ai

In healthcare, there is potential to build an alternative to Whoop; if the product is good, that itself can be a $100 million revenue line. @pratykumar @RajanAnandan @MohapatraHemant

Sarvam co-founder Pratyush Kumar to Moneycontrol Sarvam glasses will help you experience AI model as a consumer, and come with a ring Sarvam glasses will be available from May, price points work in progress, will be affordable India needs hundreds of companies innovating at the foundational layer India has proved that it can People ask should we, can we, must we Don't think we should slot India as a 'small language model' country The govt's grant in lieu of stake in Sarvam was an important catalyst to train these models Our ambition is to ensure AI reaches everyone in India We don't want to mindlessly train large models Core LLMs built by a 15-member team with blood, sweat and tears Skepticism was there because people didn't understand what we were trying to build We have an R & D heavy and a product side of things Capital is required, will take a call on when we raise Problem statement not very defined for AGI There is an intent why we are called Sarvam- we want to reach everybody We want to show value with AI We will be releasing model weights for our LLMs, a lot of value in getting feedback to improve models We will look at inference cost as it comes for consumer facing app

Humbled by the opportunity to build Sovereign AI for the Defence forces. This is core to our thesis of building in and for India grounds up.
Ministry of Defence, Government of India@SpokespersonMoD
Raksha Mantri Shri @rajnathsingh visited AI Impact Summit at Bharat Mandapam today. He witnessed the latest advancements in AI and demonstrations of AI solutions in the Indian Army, @indiannavy, @DRDO_India, @BEL_CorpCom, and other defence agencies as well as private companies like Google etc. Raksha Mantri appreciated the efforts of Sarvam AI in building India's first indigenous and sovereign Large Language Model aimed at bolstering national security and digital autonomy- critical for applications in Indian Army. Raksha Mantri also visited stalls of other leading AI players.

@aakrit @JagmeetS13 Fantastic @aakrit and @177pc.
Great to see home grown VCs understand the playbook in a whole different era of tech.

Today, I am excited to share that on the sidelines of the AI Summit, NVIDIA announced an exclusive partnership with Activate.
This means 3 things:

Indus is available on -
iPhone: apps.apple.com/in/app/indus-b…
Android: play.google.com/store/apps/det…
Web: indus.sarvam.ai
Give it a spin!

We’re gradually rolling out Indus on a limited compute capacity, so you may hit a waitlist at first. We will expand access over time.
Also, we believe Sovereign AI must be built with the country, not just for it. That means learning from the people who understand India best - its everyday users, developers, researchers, and creators. So, try out the app and let us know what works well and what doesn't. We are in listen mode.
English
Drop 14a/14: Over the past few days, we’ve been putting our models, products, and research out there. The positive feedback has helped more people agree with our long held belief that #IndiaCan be a builder in this space.
Today, we are rolling out Indus - a chat interface to experience Sarvam 105B. Here is what all you can do:
English
Drop 13/14: The 30B and 105B models, benchmarks, and HF links will all come. But today it is a drop about people. About how our team of just 15 folks gave it their all to do what many doubted as not doable - ie train usefully large, globally competitive models from scratch in India. This team of 15 has now firmly launched @sarvam into its second innings. Yes, we can!
