Nandan Nilekani, Chairman, Infosys, emphasised that frugal engineering can make artificial intelligence (AI) more cost-effective in India, positioning the country as the global leader in AI use cases. Speaking at the launch of Sarvam AI's full-stack Generative AI platform, Nilekani advocated for the use of smaller, targeted, and secure AI models, rather than relying on large, complex systems.

Sarvam AI, a homegrown startup, has developed a Small Language Model (SLM) with two billion parameters, designed to be voice-enabled and multilingual, supporting 10 Indian languages. This platform aims to revolutionise AI accessibility across India's diverse linguistic and socio-economic landscape.

Nilekani expressed strong support for Sarvam AI's innovation, stating, "India can build models that are both scalable and effective." The platform represents a significant step toward creating sovereign AI solutions tailored specifically for India, according to Pratyush Kumar and Vivek Raghavan, Co-founders, Sarvam AI.
