Sarvam is a Bengaluru-based artificial intelligence company building a full-stack sovereign AI platform for India. Its stack spans foundation models, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, translation, document intelligence, model APIs, voice agents, work agents and enterprise AI applications designed for Indian languages and operating environments. Sarvam develops and operates its models and infrastructure in India and supports cloud, private-cloud, on-premises and air-gapped deployments. Its technology is used by enterprises and public institutions, with publicly referenced customers and partners including Tata Capital, SBI Life, CRED, IDFC FIRST Bank, LIC and government organisations. The company also works on large-scale AI infrastructure, model training and forward-deployed engineering.
Sarvam offers candidates the opportunity to work across foundation models, multilingual speech and vision, high-scale model serving, agents and enterprise AI infrastructure built specifically for India. The company says its systems process millions of voice conversations and roughly a crore API calls a day, giving engineers exposure to production-scale AI rather than only prototypes. Its $234 million Series B first close provides substantial funding for frontier-model research, compute and expansion. Current roles span research, distributed systems, GPU infrastructure, Kubernetes, model APIs, security and forward-deployed engineering. The work also includes deployments with major enterprises and public institutions, including sovereign and air-gapped environments, offering substantial technical ownership and learning scope.
