It was a privilege to host Abhay Karandikar at the BharatGen office.
During my visit to Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, I had the opportunity to interact with the team of BharatGen, an initiative led by Prof. Ganesh Ramakrishnan. Seeded by India DST under its cyber physical mission and subsequently supported under IndiaAI Mission by Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Bharat Gen is working towards the development of sovereign foundational Large Language Models (LLMs) for India. It was encouraging to note the substantial progress made by the team across text, speech and vision models. Discussions focused on pathways for scaling these efforts and enabling deployment of Bharat Gen-powered applications for population-scale use cases, further strengthening India’s AI capabilities and digital public infrastructure ecosystem. #BharatGen #IndiaAI
