Indian AI company Sarvam is taking bold strides by deploying its new AI models across various devices, including Nokia feature phones, cars, and Sarvam Kaze smart glasses. This initiative was highlighted at the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, where Sarvam, backed by Lightspeed, Peak XV, and Khosla Ventures, demonstrated edge models capable of running offline on devices with existing processors.

  • Sarvam is collaborating with HMD to introduce a conversational AI assistant to Nokia and HMD phones. The assistant can be activated via a dedicated AI button on feature phones to provide guidance on government schemes or local markets in regional languages.
  • Tushar Goswamy, Sarvam's head of Edge AI, emphasized bringing intelligence to all devices, collaborating with Qualcomm to optimize models for Qualcomm chipsets.
  • Vivek Raghavan, co-founder and CEO, highlighted Sarvam's ability to design scalable and secure AI models ready for widespread adoption.
  • Sarvam is also partnering with Bosch to integrate AI assistants into cars, further expanding its market presence.
  • The company showcased its AI smart glasses, named Sarvam Kaze, with availability expected in May, aiming to target builders.

The company's shift from enterprise to consumer markets signifies a strategic move to broaden AI accessibility.
