A new AI platform for Indian languages launched by Sarvam AI

Bengaluru-based AI startup Sarvam AI has launched its new brand identity. The company has named it 'the all-new Sarvam' and describes itself as a platform 'Designed for all of India'. The company states its motto is 'AI for all, from India'.
