Sarvam AI, an Indian generative AI startup, has successfully raised $41 million in its Series A funding round led by Lightspeed. This funding round marks the largest raise at this stage for an Indian AI startup. Sarvam AI, founded by Vivek Raghavan and Pratyush Kumar, aims to develop a "full-stack" for generative AI, covering research-led innovations in training custom AI models and an enterprise-grade platform for authoring and deployment.
The company's full-stack approach is expected to accelerate the adoption of generative AI (GenAI) in India, especially for enterprises struggling to leverage its potential. Sarvam AI will focus on training AI models to support diverse Indian languages and voice-first interfaces. It plans to collaborate with Indian enterprises to co-build domain-specific AI models on their data.
Sarvam AI also aims to create a population-scale impact by layering GenAI on top of the India stack for public-good applications. The company emphasizes making AI technology accessible to all and believes in harnessing technology for the benefit of people's lives. The funding will enable Sarvam AI to further its research and development efforts in the AI space and contribute to India's AI ecosystem.
