Indigenous conversational AI platform unveiled at India AI Impact Summit; targets enterprises, developers and government services.
SarvamAI has introduced ‘Samvaad’, a multilingual conversational AI platform designed to operate across 22 Indian languages. The launch took place at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, positioning the product as a domestically developed alternative to global AI chat systems.
Samvaad is built on SarvamAI’s proprietary foundation models and forms part of the company’s broader “Sarvam for Conversations” agentic AI stack. Alongside the launch, the startup unveiled ‘Arya’, a workplace automation solution, and a suite of AI-powered content generation tools aimed at enterprise workflow integration.
Built for Indian Languages and Local Deployment
According to the company, Samvaad is specifically optimised for Indian language use cases, enabling conversational AI agents across customer support, healthcare, education, and public service delivery. The platform is designed to support enterprise-grade and on-premise deployments, allowing organisations to maintain control over sensitive data.
SarvamAI highlighted its focus on “Indian unit economics,” indicating a cost structure tailored for domestic scalability and sustainable deployment across both private and public sector institutions.
Positioned as a Local Alternative to Global AI Platforms
Samvaad has been positioned as an indigenous alternative to global conversational AI systems such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google Gemini, particularly for multilingual, governance-oriented and data-sensitive use cases.
The company stated that the platform incorporates governed, self-improving AI capabilities, enabling models to learn from enterprise deployments while maintaining compliance and data sovereignty standards.
Strategic Technology Partnerships
To strengthen infrastructure performance and device-level optimisation, SarvamAI announced partnerships with Bosch Technology, Qualcomm, and HMD Global. These collaborations are expected to support hardware-level tuning and enterprise-ready deployments across devices and edge environments.
AI Wearables and Token Ecosystem
Expanding beyond conversational AI, SarvamAI revealed plans to launch AI-powered wearable glasses named ‘Sarvam Kaze’ by May 2026. The company also introduced ‘Pravaah’, described as an AI token factory aimed at fostering an India-centric AI development ecosystem.
Focus on Government and Developer Ecosystems
SarvamAI is targeting digital governance initiatives, regional-language chatbots, and enterprise automation as key growth areas. The company will provide APIs and developer toolkits to enable the creation and integration of AI applications in Indian languages.
Amid India’s rapidly expanding AI landscape, Samvaad represents a strategic push toward indigenous AI infrastructure aligned with local language diversity, regulatory requirements, and scalable deployment needs. The launch signals growing momentum behind India-built AI platforms designed for population-scale adoption.
