Indian startup Sarvam launches Indus AI chat app

• ByStartupStory     |    February 25, 2026

India’s Sarvam has launched its Indus AI chat app for web and mobile, targeting users in India.

The app is based on Sarvam’s 105 billion large language model and is currently in beta. It allows users to type or speak queries and receive responses in both text and audio formats. The service is limited to India at this stage.

The app has some restrictions, including no option to delete chat history without deleting the account and no way to disable the reasoning feature, which may affect response times. Sarvam plans to gradually expand access.

The startup, founded in 2023, has raised US$41 million. This launch is part of India’s broader effort to develop domestic AI alternatives amid growing global competition.
