IBM and Sarvam Team Up to Advance Sovereign AI in India

IBM and Sarvam have partnered to advance sovereign AI technologies in India. Through their collaboration, they will work together to demonstrate and pilot technologies targeting industry use cases relevant for central and state governments, public sector organizations, and regulated enterprises across the country.

The initiative aims to accelerate the adoption of trusted, governed, and sovereign AI capabilities through innovation pilots, solution accelerators, technical advisory, and knowledge-sharing initiatives. IBM Sovereign Core will be combined with Sarvam's Sovereign AI stack, which includes reasoning models and India-first language and voice AI trained from scratch in India.

The combined offering is purpose-built for the public sector and regulated enterprises aligned with the country's regulatory, security, and operational requirements. Together, IBM and Sarvam will power use cases like citizen services, grievance redressal, document processing, and administrative workflows on full stack sovereign AI.
