NEW DELHI: Sarvam AI today launched Kaze, India’s first indigenous AI-powered smart glasses, at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 at Bharat Mandapam. The device marks the Bengaluru-based startup’s entry into hardware wearables and its first product that moves AI off the screen and into the physical world. Prime Minister Narendra Modi became the first person to try the glasses, wearing them during his walkthrough of the AI Impact Expo on Monday evening.
Kaze listens, understands, and responds in real time while simultaneously capturing and interpreting what the wearer sees. Unlike smartphone-based AI interfaces, the device operates as a hands-free ambient layer, enabling continuous spoken interaction with the surrounding environment. Developers can build custom applications on top of the Sarvam platform, opening industry-specific use cases across healthcare, education, and citizen services.
The device is designed, built, and powered by AI developed entirely in India, positioning it squarely within the country’s push for technological self-reliance.
Sarvam AI plans a commercial launch in May. The company also confirmed it will release a Chat model later this week. Kaze joins a growing lineup that includes Sarvam Edge, an offline AI platform running speech recognition and translation on-device without cloud access.
