India’s AI startup scene is exploding. Silicon Valley says India can’t build deep tech AI. Too much brain drain. Too little capital. But these 8 startups are proving them wrong: 🇮🇳 Sarvam AI – Raised $41M to build India’s first homegrown LLMs in Indian languages. OpenAI isn’t prioritizing this—Sarvam is. 🇮🇳 Krutrim AI – India’s fastest unicorn ($1B in record time). Bhavish Aggarwal’s next big bet after Ola, building AI for Bharat. 🇮🇳 GigaML – India's Mistral AI—raising $6M pre-seed to build open-source, India-optimized models. Could be our Hugging Face. 🇮🇳 Skit AI – Raised $30M+ to replace call centers with AI-powered voice agents. Not just chatbots—full automation. 🇮🇳 Niramai – AI for early breast cancer detection. No painful mammograms, just a simple non-invasive scan. Already saving lives. 🇮🇳 Arya.ai – AI for banks, insurance, and healthcare that is explainable and auditable. While OpenAI fights lawsuits, these guys are making AI legally sound. 🇮🇳 E42 AI – Profitable startup automating enterprise workflows with AI. Fortune 500 companies already onboard. 🇮🇳 LightMetrics – AI-powered driver monitoring for fleet safety. Reducing truck accidents in India and the US. India’s AI isn’t just copying Silicon Valley. Low-cost, high-impact AI Deep tech over hype AI for Bharat, not just metros Global vision, local execution Of course, India needs better AI infra & policies. But these startups prove world-class AI innovation is happening here. Let me know which ones I missed , I'm always updating my list.

👀 Blindly copying Silicon Valley-style accelerator models doesn’t work in the Indian entrepreneurial ecosystem. A homegrown approach relevant to India’s context is essential. This approach neither works for startups. 🙅
