We're thrilled to announce that we have raised $234M in the first close of our $300M Series B at a $1.5B valuation.
@HCLTech and @BessemerVP have joined us in this round, alongside continued support from @khoslaventures and @peakxvpartners
For countries and companies, sovereign control on the AI stack is no longer an optionality. Sarvam will be the partner of choice for this aspiration. The capital allows us to accelerate our momentum towards this full stack of models, compute, and deployments.
A huge thank you to our customers, partners, investors, and the Sarvam team for your trust and belief in what we are building. We’re just getting started.

Compute:
We were the first team in India to train at scale. We trained the sovereign models at the scale of ~3400 H100s. We are now putting serious capital behind the next step. India's first Blackwell cluster is now online and used by us, and we are building momentum towards operating 10s of megawatts in compute on Indian soil by 2027.
Models:
With Sarvam 105B, India's first sovereign model built from scratch, we showed that highly capable models can be trained here, independently. More importantly, the capability is now compounding across data, training, evaluation, systems, alignment, and deployment intuition. And we are scaling up to trillion-parameter class models, with larger runs built for coding, agents, and security. A coding model is coming soon...
Inference:
We already host our own models, with third party usage tripling in the last three months. We are soon taking live a production-grade token factory with the price, throughput, latency, reliability, and governance that banks, governments, enterprises, startups, and developers need for real systems.
Products:
Our products are now reaching India scale. Voice was our first wedge. It powers millions of interactions per day, doubling in the last three months, while we continue to optimise costs. Like voice, another modality at scale in India is documents, and we are hitting exponential growth of our new document intelligence product. Our fully managed agents product is live with enterprises and is being launched for all next month.
Deployment:
Most of the value in AI is unlocked in the last mile. We learned that by doing it across engagements in enterprises, government, and strategic sectors. Now we are turning that learning into a platform that allows every organisation to hill climb on its own use cases - whether it is building an agent, customising the harness, creating the data/tool backbone, or finetuning the model on custom data.
Talent:
Serious researchers are joining us across pretraining and RL, including people who have done meaningful work at the frontier. We are also starting our San Francisco office as the conduit for frontier AI ambition for India first, then the world.
Every era has its defining minds. The ones who saw differently. Built differently. Changed everything.
We're assembling ours at @SarvamAI.
A design team that will shape how billions think, speak, and create with AI.

There's a version of your career where you look back and say: I was there when it mattered. That window is open right now.
We're hiring Product Managers at Sarvam.
People who build with care, obsess over details, think from first principles, and want the most important work of their careers.
It will be the hardest thing you've done. It will also be the most fun.

Excited to partner with @Razorpay to power the next generation of voice-first, conversational commerce.
The partnership brings together Sarvam's models and agentic stack with Razorpay's agentic payments infrastructure, allowing customers to discover products, place orders, and complete payments simply by conversing in their language.
The experience will initially launch with @Swiggy as an early partner, enabling customers to order food by speaking directly to an AI assistant on the Indus App.
How do you move to the next level in life?
Find something that genuinely interests you.Try to master it.
Fail, and fail as fast as possible.
Get obsessed with the craft. Try again. Fail again.
Feel the frustration. Feel the sadness.
Then convert that sadness into anger.
Channel that anger in the right direction.
Try again.
That’s it.
📢 Open-sourcing the Sarvam 30B and 105B models! Trained from scratch with all data, model research and inference optimisation done in-house, these models punch above their weight in most global benchmarks plus excel in Indian languages.
Get the weights at Hugging Face and AIKosh. Thanks to the good folks at SGLang for day 0 support, vLLM support coming soon. Links, benchmark scores, examples, and more in our blog - https://t.co/DcCG3zlN8p
Today, we're launching the Sarvam Startup Program.
AI is the era for builders. We want to compound that momentum by powering the startup ecosystem with high-quality models and tools so they can create with full agency.
The program provides credits, priority support, and production-ready infrastructure so startups can focus fully on building.
We're excited to partner with the Government of Maharashtra. Through this partnership, we aim to strengthen the state’s sovereign compute capacity and deliver tangible impact across healthcare, education, agriculture, and governance.
One of the things that I have learnt from Vivek is to value “ecosystem” driven approach for building tech than competing for the spot in a race. It’s important to understand that India has unique needs and only one team cant solve it all. Sarvam just showed India can, now India must do.
@keylimepie2000@Mananjain92 Once you tell him a secret, you have to keep sending him money every month to stay quiet about it.
