Sarvam calls for self-dependence in LLMS
Business Standard
|February 20, 2026
Sarvam AI's recently released language models have drawn praise from Google Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai.
-
Sarvam Co-founder Vivek Raghavan, in an interaction with Avik Das, talks about their effectiveness, why the real challenge lies in deployment, and India's push to build a sovereign artificial intelligence (AI) stack. Edited excerpts:How has the Indian AI ecosystem and the government reacted to the language models that you launched?
■ I think everybody is excited that India has been able to build a large language model (LLM) like this from scratch, with no data dependency on anyone else — something that is strong in Indian languages and comparable to other models of its size. I am not saying it is comparable to the largest Gemini or Anthropic models. What we tried to do was make it a very efficient model. It can be the harbinger of bigger things to come.
Would you want to build bigger models going ahead?
