Overview
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi hosted 12 AI startups at his residence after they qualified for the AI for ALL: Global Impact Challenge track of the India AI Impact Summit.
- Modi urged models that are ethical, unbiased and transparent, rooted in strong data privacy, and reflective of indigenous content and regional languages under a “Made in India, Made for the World” vision.
- He assured full government support and called on founders to target international leadership with affordable, inclusive and frugal AI solutions.
- The cohort spans Indian‑language foundation models, multilingual LLMs, speech and media generation, 3D content for commerce and marketing, engineering simulations, materials research, advanced analytics and healthcare diagnostics.
- Startups highlighted needs for diverse datasets—especially in regional languages—financing and regulatory clarity, as IndiaAI Mission pillars such as subsidised GPUs, a national dataset platform and skilling are positioned to address gaps before the New Delhi summit in February.
