Author: Bhavish Aggarwal

Introducing India's First AI Frontier Research Lab

Today, we proudly introduce कृत्रिम AI Lab—India’s first dedicated AI frontier research lab. This bold initiative is designed to drive cutting-edge AI innovation tailored for India's unique needs while contributing to the global AI landscape.

Recent advancements, such as those demonstrated by DeepSeek, have shown that AI breakthroughs are not limited to Silicon Valley. We acknowledge their remarkable achievements. Meanwhile, we have been steadfastly building AI for India. Now, it’s time for India to compete on the world stage.

Why India Needs Its Own AI Research Ecosystem

AI is reshaping industries at an unprecedented pace, and India has to lead it. To secure our position in the AI revolution, we must cultivate a robust, independent AI research ecosystem—one deeply rooted in India’s linguistic, economic, and technological reality.

India has the data, the talent, and the ambition to lead the global AI race. With the world’s largest and most diverse dataset, a rapidly growing AI-skilled workforce, and a strong technology backbone, India has all the ingredients to drive AI innovation at an unprecedented scale. The time to act is now—India must not only participate but take the lead in the AI arms race.

Achieving this requires extensive collaboration across industry, academia, and the developer community. This is why we are launching कृत्रिम AI Lab, a research initiative that prioritizes open collaboration, talent sourcing, and pioneering advancements to position India at the forefront of AI innovation.

Our Mission: Advancing AI for India and the World

At कृत्रिम AI Lab, we are driven by four key objectives:

• Championing Open-Source AI – We firmly believe that AI should be accessible to everyone. By open-sourcing our breakthroughs and fostering collaboration with academia, startups, and the broader developer community, we aim to democratize AI and empower innovation at all levels.
• Multilingual AI Excellence – Developing AI models that represent India’s diverse linguistic landscape, ensuring equitable AI accessibility across all Indian languages.
• Cost-Efficient AI Innovation – Creating AI solutions optimized for scale and affordability, enabling widespread AI adoption.
• Establishing India’s AI Thought Leadership – Attracting top AI talent and fostering research that pushes the boundaries of AI knowledge.

Building India's AI Research Frontier

कृत्रिम AI Lab is more than just a research initiative—it is a movement to position India as a global leader in AI innovation. We are committed to closing the AI research gap by:
