It's always pleasure to connect with Jeff @jeffbarr @awsugindia @AWSUserGroups @awsugrnc @AWSUGKol #AWS

Today, I’m proud to share something we’ve been building for months - Artham, India’s first Small Language Model (SLM) built exclusively for Indian Capital Markets. We unveiled it at AWS re:Invent 2025 in Las Vegas, marking a defining milestone for India, AI, and Raise on the world stage. 🚀

This isn’t just a product launch. It’s a statement that India no longer has to rely on global AI models that were never designed to understand the depth, nuance, and realities of our markets. We can and we will build for ourselves.

Artham is shaped by the realities of Indian markets — SEBI’s rulebook, NSE & BSE dynamics, corporate filings, trading cycles, investor sentiment, and the everyday language of Indian finance. Every layer is grounded in local context, built to serve Indian participants, not global assumptions. This isn’t a “global model adapted for India.”

Built in India. Hosted in India. Built for India. 🇮🇳

This is a model born from India’s capital markets. At Raise Financial Services, we’ve always believed that true financial empowerment cannot come from imported solutions. It must be created on-ground, in-context, with an Indian-first mindset.

Artham is our step towards making Indian finance more intelligent, more relevant, and more accessible for retail investors, traders, institutions, and the next generation of market participants.

Behind this launch is a team that stayed obsessed with one thing: relevance. Relevance to the Indian investor. Relevance to the Indian market cycle. Relevance to India’s financial future.

This isn’t a concept or a test model. Artham is already live in production for millions of users:

• @ask_fuzz (AI research)
• ScanX (markets insights)
• @DhanHQ (trading and investing)

Proud of our team. Proud of our mission. Proud to build for India. 🇮🇳

Launch #2 I'm excited about today: STRANDS TYPESCRIPT SDK

These days, coding agents generate most of my code, even AI agent code. Typescript outperforms Python for agentic coding: early compiler errors speed up iteration. Bring on the Typescript agents!

[Swami Sivasubramanian @SwamiSivasubram]

What excites me most about this era of AI isn't just the technology itself, but what it enables: faster iteration, more reliable agents, and AI that is accessible to everyone (no PhD required). Hearing from customers like @blueorigin and @Vercel reminds me why we do this work and makes me optimistic about the possibilities ahead. Thank you William Brennan and Guillermo Rauch for sharing your business transformation stories with us. Also glad to have Byron Cook on stage to dive in to automated reasoning, which makes agents more trustworthy, and Colleen Aubrey, who double clicked on the power of intelligent agentic teammates.

Here's a breakdown of the news from #AWSreInvent this morning... (1/2)

[Eric Johnson @edjgeek]

Wow, we are day 4 at #AWSreinvent already! Hope your week has been amazing. Today, I'm hanging in the expo hall and cert lounge, come say hi if you get a chance! I wanted to give a shout out to my team, love working with you!

[Brooke Jamieson @brooke_jamieson]

Thank you so much @SwamiSivasubram for finding time to talk about the Road to re:Invent Hackathon in your very packed keynote today!

This year's Now Go Build Award goes to Raphael Quisumbing @RaphaelFra20009—a true "renaissance developer." He builds communities, mentors others, and translates tech into real solutions. Kudos to all 265 AWS Heroes across 58 countries leading the way. Now, go build!

[Clare Liguori @clare_liguori]

Thrilled about the launch of @kirodotdev autonomous agent
1) coding agent keeps going when your laptop is off (or like me, when you don't have good internet access during ferry commute)
2) works across repos. You don't need to adopt monorepos to be effective with coding agents!

[AWS Cloud India @AWSCloudIndia]

Navigate #AWSreInvent like a pro. Build the future of cloud on the global stage.

Milind Pande shows how India’s builders are doing both.
