Indian GenAI Startup Tracker: 140+ Startups Putting India On The Global AI Map

Before November 2022, OpenAI was a little-known artificial intelligence (AI) startup in the US. However, that very month, the company unveiled a chatbot, ChatGPT, which in just two months crossed 100 Mn monthly active users, making it the fastest-growing consumer platform in history. 

Its rapid adoption has since paved the way for newer large language models (LLM) from OpenAI’s kitty.

Thousands of miles away in India, the generative AI (GenAI) bug seems to have caught the fancy of Indian entrepreneurs and investors too. The homegrown AI ecosystem has made massive strides in this domain since 2022. 

Not only has the country been able to mint its first AI unicorn, Krutrim, but interesting use cases have emerged from the minds of Indian GenAI founders. From leveraging the technology for detection of diseases to building human-like conversational platforms, the world’s third largest startup ecosystem is witnessing it all. Moreover, the Indian government is currently deeply focussed on advancing the country’s AI initiatives. 

Last year, the Centre launched the IndiaAI mission which focusses on pushing the computing capacity, creating dataset platforms, building innovative centres, supporting startup financing and developing skills in the area. 

The electronics and information technology ministry has allocated INR 10,372 Cr for this ambitious project and is in the midst of acquiring 18,000 graphic processing units (GPUs) to support AI computing. The Centre will also fund startups who are on the quest to build domestic foundational models and has also established accelerator programmes to foster innovation.  

Consequently, India has spawned the rise of 140+ native AI startups that have raised more than $1.5 Bn since 2020.

Spearheading this AI revolution are names like SarvamAI and Krutrim, which are focussed on building Indic LLMs, while others like ObserveAI, having secured more than $214 Mn, are leveraging AI to offer customised customer and operational support to businesses. 

Not just this, a large number of startups today are using AI to streamline user experience and operations. On the back of this, Inc42 estimates the homegrown GenAI market to cross the $17 Bn mark by 2030. 

In line with the growing market opportunity in this space, we have endeavoured to collate a list of Indian startups that are causing a stir in the rapidly evolving Indian GenAI space. 

(Note: The startups below have been listed in the order of the amount of funding raised since their incorporation. This is not an exhaustive list, we will be updating it periodically.
