About Sarvam AI

Sarvam AI is India's most prominent foundational AI startup, selected by the Indian government under the IndiaAI Mission to build the country's first indigenous large language model. Founded in 2023 by AI4Bharat creators Vivek Raghavan and Pratyush Kumar, Sarvam has raised $53.8M from Lightspeed, Peak XV Partners, and Khosla Ventures.

Sarvam-1 is a 2-billion parameter model that runs 4-6x faster than competitors in Hindi and 10 regional languages, efficient enough to work on mobile phones. In 2026, Sarvam unveiled Sarvam Edge (offline on-device AI), Sarvam-30B and Sarvam-105B models, and the Bulbul V3 voice model with 35 professional voices across 11 languages. The startup signed an MOU for India's first Sovereign AI Park in Tamil Nadu.
