AI models developed under IndiaAI Mission represent important progress in building India’s own AI capabilities tailored to local languages and use-cases

Government of India launched the IndiaAI Mission in March 2024 with the objective of building a robust ecosystem of AI in the country. The Mission seeks to expand access to AI technologies, support innovation and promote the development of AI solutions addressing India-centric challenges.

AIKosha: IndiaAI Datasets Platform

AIKosha is platform which provides access AI models, development tools and other resources. These belong to various fields such as health, agriculture, and education, with safeguards for data privacy.

AIKosh acts as a shared library of AI models that anyone can use to build new AI tools and solutions.

Eg. Text-to-Speech (TTS) models in Indian languages like Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, and Malayalam. The sovereign model being developed as part of IndiaAI mission such as Sarvam are also available on AIKosh.

In addition, AIKosh provides a secure API-based access, an AI Sandbox environment for model training and experimentation.

These models, datasets and other information can be accessed from the website https://aikosh.indiaai.gov.in/home.

iGOT-AI Courses

The iGOT initiative is aimed at strengthening AI awareness and capacity building among government officials and other stakeholders.

The iGOT Karmayogi platform currently offers over 176 courses on Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies (Details in Annexure-I), published by a wide range of institutions, organizations, and academic bodies.

To date, these courses have cumulatively recorded 72,99,149 enrolments and 53,79,235 completions from registered learners on the platform.

The YUVA AI for All course offered by the IndiaAI Mission is also available on the iGOTKarmayogi platform in English and Hindi. Together, the two versions of the course have recorded 1,28,848 enrolments and 83,010 completions from registered learners on the platform to date.

IndiaAI Startups Global: International Acceleration Program

The IndiaAI Startups Global program was launched in collaboration with Station F (Paris) and HEC Paris. Under this program, 10 Indian AI startups have been selected and supported to expand into the European market.

It supports Indian AI startups in accessing global innovation ecosystems and expanding into international markets.

These startups are already developing innovative solutions across sectors such as governance, smart cities, document intelligence, and enterprise automation. Their work highlights the growing maturity of India’s AI startup ecosystem and its ability to build practical, deployment-ready solutions.

Further, under the IndiaAI Mission, thirty (30) applications are being developed focusing on India-specific problems. These applications belong to critical sectors notably Agriculture, Health, Climate change and disaster. Details are at Annexure-II.

Sector-specific hackathons and Innovation challenges have also been organised with the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre, the Geological Survey of India, Ministry of Ayush, Ministry of MSME, NFRA and National Cancer Grid (NCG) to further encourage focused AI solution development.

From these hackathons and innovation challenges, 10 startups have been identified for scaling up the solutions.

Development of Sovereign Models

Under the IndiaAI mission, Twelve (12) teams have been shortlisted in the phase 1 for development of indigenous foundational AI models/Large Language Models.

Models developed by Sarvam AI, BharatGen, Gnani and Socket were launched during the IndiaAI Impact Summit 2026. These models represent important progress in building India’s own AI capabilities tailored to local languages and use-cases.

These sovereign models show strong performance on Indic language benchmarks. In some cases, these perform better than leading frontier models for Indian language tasks.

For instance, models developed by Sarvam AI have demonstrated high accuracy in document understanding and Indic language processing.

IndiaAI Compute

The Government is cognisant of the importance of compute infrastructure for the innovation in AI. As India advances towards using AI to solve real-life problems and develop AI models, developers require access to large-scale compute for both training and inference.

Common compute under IndiaAI Mission is providing affordable access to high-end compute infrastructure to startups, researchers, academic institutions and government organizations.

The Government recognises compute as a public good for inclusive AI development. In this direction, compute capacity is being further expanded by adding 20,000 GPUs under the IndiaAI Mission (currently under process).

The Government is also working to strengthen the data centre ecosystem. The Union Budget 2026–27 announced a long-term tax holiday for data centre and cloud infrastructure investment.

The AI Impact Summit 2026 saw investment commitments of around $250 billion in AI infrastructure. This reflects a strong global confidence in India’s AI ecosystem.
