Honored to welcome @iitbombay and BharatGen as founding contributors to Project Tapestry. India isn’t just adopting open & frontier AI — it’s helping build it, in its own languages and on its own terms. Sovereign by architecture, advanced together.

As India builds frontier AI rooted in its own languages and knowledge, IIT Bombay and BharatGen are proud to support and participate in Project Tapestry: an open, global consortium for nations to advance frontier AI together. BharatGen, supported by the IndiaAI Mission and the Department of Science and Technology, joins as a founding contributor with multilingual AI infrastructure built natively for India's diverse languages.

A Letter of Intent was signed on June 18th by IIT Bombay Director Prof. Shireesh Kedare, in the presence of both Deputy Directors Prof. Milind Atrey and Prof. Ravindra Gudi, and Prof. Ganesh Ramakrishnan, Founding Director at BharatGen. Project Tapestry was represented by Dr. Christopher Nguyễn, Chief Architect of Project Tapestry and AI Alliance Board Member. What India has built for its own people, it now brings to the world.

For years, access to the world's most advanced AI models was largely a commercial question. Today, it is increasingly becoming a geopolitical one.

Recent restrictions on access to frontier AI systems have raised an important question: Is India prepared for a future where access to critical AI technologies can be restricted?

The challenge goes beyond building indigenous AI models. It is about strengthening resilience across the AI stack—from compute infrastructure and data to open-source ecosystems and talent development.

This week's AI4India Weekly explores why AI sovereignty is ultimately about strategic autonomy and resilience, and what India must do to remain a creator, not just a consumer, of AI.

The edition also covers Sarvam AI's unicorn milestone, Meta's growing AI partnership with Reliance, India's latest indigenous AI innovations, and other key developments shaping the country's AI ecosystem.

AI that thinks in India's own languages.

IIT Bombay is proud to present BharatGen to the world: Open, multilingual AI for India's languages and people, at Bharat Innovates 2026 in Nice, France (14–16 June).

BharatGen is built at IIT Bombay's Department of Computer Science and Engineering, led by Prof. Ganesh Ramakrishnan, with Rishi Bal (CEO) and Dr. Maneesh Singh (VP, ML) with a consortium of 9 premier academic institutions. A team of 60+ researchers, engineers and linguists are building AI that includes all scheduled Indian languages, across text, speech and documents.

-> Param2, its foundational text model with reasoning, coding, and tool calling capabilities works across all 22 scheduled Indian languages

-> Shrutam2, for automatic multilingual speech recognition/ STT across Indian languages

-> Sooktam2, a text-to-speech models with zero-shot voice cloning across Indian languages

-> Patram, a document vision model built for understanding Indian-specific documentation

BharatGen powers services in governance, healthcare, education, insurance, finance, and cultural preservation.

A national effort backed by DST and the IndiaAI Mission, BharatGen is India's push for open, homegrown AI, built for 1.4 billion people.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Les échanges qui ont eu lieu à Bharat Innovates 2026, à Nice, ont été riches et instructifs.

J’ai pu m’entretenir avec des investisseurs et des dirigeants du capital-risque sur les opportunités considérables qu’offre l’Inde dans les domaines de l’innovation, de la technologie, de l’industrie manufacturière et des secteurs émergents. La croissance de l’Inde s’appuie sur ses talents, son échelle, sa stabilité et ses réformes, ce qui en fait une destination attractive pour l’investissement et l’innovation.

A landmark breakthrough in neuroscience from IIT Madras. The Sudha Gopalakrishnan Brain Centre (SGBC), IIT Madras, has unveiled ANCHOR (Atlas of Neurochemical Characterisation of the Human Brainstem with 3D Reconstruction) — the world’s most detailed 3D atlas of the human brainstem at cell resolution.

Developed using SGBC’s state-of-the-art brain imaging and computing platform, ANCHOR offers an unprecedented view of the human brainstem across different stages of life, from prenatal development to adulthood. The atlas maps over 200 brainstem nuclei and fibre tracts, providing valuable insights into the brain’s structure and function.

Launched during the 3rd BRICS Neuroscience Symposium 2026, ANCHOR is now freely accessible to researchers and clinicians worldwide through the website: https://t.co/YujWrxjpH2, advancing open science and global collaboration.

This pioneering resource is expected to drive discoveries in neuroscience, neurological diseases, and precision medicine.

We need to create our own model for AI like in UPI. Data as public good, open source models, investing in next gen AI hardware like neuromorphic chips, regulations for sovereign data and AI etc.

[Padma Awards @PadmaAwards]

Dr. Krishnamurty Balasubramanian, prominent material scientist, honoured with Padma Shri, renowned for specialising in critical minerals. led development of advanced cryogenic-engine materials for India's space missions; achieved clinical trials of an advanced knee prosthesis, contributed to ITER fusion components, and established India’s first rare-earth magnet plant.
