Sarvam AI Unveils Major Updates at India AI Impact Summit 2026

Sarvam AI, India’s leading AI startup, made several key announcements during the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi, reinforcing its focus on sovereign, multilingual AI models tailored for Indian enterprises and consumers. The Bengaluru-based firm launched Sarvam Dub for voice dubbing, Sarvam Vision for multimodal capabilities, Sarvam Akshar for text generation, alongside new foundation models supporting 22 Indian languages.
These releases, timed with the summit’s “Sarvajan Hitaya, Sarvajan Sukhaya” theme, emphasize accessible AI bridging linguistic divides and enabling population-scale applications. Sarvam’s 30-billion and 105-billion parameter models employ a mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture for efficient performance on local devices.
The startup also debuted Kaze smartglasses—its first hardware product—tested by PM Narendra Modi, integrating voice-enabled AI for real-world use. Partnerships with Qualcomm, HMD, and Bosch will deploy Sarvam models on smartphones, feature phones, cars, laptops, and glasses.
Amid the New Delhi Declaration’s adoption by 88+ nations, Sarvam showcased India’s shift from AI consumption to creation, aligning with government-backed BharatGen Param2 (17B parameters, multimodal). CEO Vivek Raghavan highlighted open-source commitment for enterprise adoption.
