Pune: IndiGo Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of IndiGo airline, has announced its investment in Sarvam, India’s full-stack sovereign Artificial Intelligence (AI) company, as part of Sarvam’s Series B funding round.

IndiGo Ventures and Sarvam to Advance AI Applications
Sarvam builds across training and inference infrastructure, frontier models and enterprise AI products. Its technology spans text, speech, vision and documents and is designed for secure deployment across complex, high-volume environments.
The investment from IndiGo Ventures comes as IndiGo and Sarvam continue their work on AI applications across multiple areas of the airline’s operations.
Pratyush Kumar, Co-founder, Sarvam, said: “Aviation is a powerful setting for enterprise AI because it combines millions of customer interactions with complex, time-sensitive operations.
IndiGo brings the domain depth and scale needed to identify where AI can create real value. Together, we can develop systems that are useful in production and build a stronger template for enterprise AI in India.”
The companies will continue to develop and evaluate applications across customer experience, employee productivity and airline operations.
Under the collaboration, successful use cases can be expanded across IndiGo’s network, further strengthening the role of Artificial Intelligence in the airline’s customer-facing and operational functions.
The IndiGo Ventures investment therefore builds on the companies’ existing collaboration and brings together IndiGo’s aviation expertise and scale with Sarvam’s full-stack AI capabilities.
