India’s Sarvam AI Challenges ChatGPT with Indus Chatbot

BENGALURU: Sarvam AI launches Indus chat app to compete with ChatGPT. The Indian startup enters the AI chatbot market dominated by OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. The app serves as interface for Sarvam’s 105-billion-parameter large language model.

Indus currently operates in beta on iOS, Android, and web platforms. Users type or speak queries and receive responses in text and audio. The app supports all Indian languages with seamless mid-conversation switching capabilities.

The launch follows Sarvam’s unveiling of 105B and 30B models at India AI Impact Summit. The company announces enterprise initiatives and hardware plans. Partnerships include HMD for AI integration into Nokia feature phones and Bosch for automotive applications.

“We’re gradually rolling out Indus on limited compute capacity, so you may hit a waitlist at first. We will expand access over time”

Pratyush Kumar, Co-founder of Sarvam

The app allows users to upload images, PDFs, and documents for AI analysis. Voice command features enable verbal interaction with the assistant. Users sign in via phone number, Google, Microsoft account, or Apple ID.

Sarvam raised $41 million from Lightspeed Venture Partners, Peak XV Partners, and Khosla Ventures. Founded in 2023, the company builds large language models tailored for India.

The service currently limits access through a waitlist system as Sarvam expands compute capacity. The company seeks user feedback during the gradual rollout phase.
