Co-founder, Sarvam AIAbout
While the IT services industry is grappling with the fallout of AI, Bengaluru-based Sarvam has established itself as India’s home-grown AI success story to watch out for. While the government has selected the startup under the IndiaAI Mission to build the country’s sovereign Large Language Model (LLM), co-founders Pratyush Kumar and Vivek Raghavan have shown why the duo matters. Just a couple of months back, Sarvam became a unicorn after it raised $234 million in the first close of its $300 million Series B at a post-money valuation of $1.5 billion. "Research-led innovation to create AI that works at India's scale is a very large opportunity... We are innovating a full-stack offering for enterprises to own and operate their own sovereign AI,” Kumar said post the deal announcement.
