Overview
Bengaluru-based startup selected by the Indian government's IndiaAI Mission to build the country's sovereign large language model ecosystem, funded with GPU access from the Mission's compute pillar. Sarvam released Sarvam-105B in February 2026 — India's first fully domestically-trained, open-source 105-billion-parameter LLM — alongside a 32B mixture-of-experts model, both trained across 22 Indian languages. In June 2026 Sarvam raised $234 million in the first close of a $300 million Series B at a $1.5 billion valuation, with HCLTech and Bessemer Venture Partners joining existing investors Khosla Ventures and Peak XV Partners.
Strategic Connections
- HCLTech: HCLTech joined Bessemer Venture Partners as a new investor in Sarvam's $234M Series B first close (June 2026) at a $1.5B valuation.
Strategic Risks
- Dependent on continued IndiaAI Mission GPU allocation for training compute
- Competing against well-funded global foundation-model labs with far larger compute budgets
Future Outlook
- Positioned as the anchor model-builder for India's sovereign AI strategy
- Series B proceeds expected to fund further scaling of domestically-trained models
