Sarvam AI will establish India’s first full-stack Sovereign AI Park in Tamil Nadu by investing Rs 10,000 crore, to generate 1,000 high-skilled, deep-tech jobs, representing a foundational step in building a robust and inclusive AI ecosystem rooted in public interest.
An MoU was signed between Sarvam AI and the Tamil Nadu Government on Tuesday in the presence of CM MK Stalin and IIT-Madras Director Prof V Kamakoti.
The Sovereign AI Park will be the first-of-its-kind purpose-built district in India that integrates AI compute infrastructure, secure data frameworks, model research labs and AI innovation clusters with a dedicated Institute for AI in governance.
The park can operate as a full-stack system, where data, models, and compute remain within the state’s trust boundary, ensuring a sovereign, ethical and inclusive ecosystem for deployment of AI systems.
Drawing inspiration from the historic Sangam academies that safeguarded and enriched Tamil civilisation, the Sovereign AI Park will also serve as a modern Digital Sangam.
It will develop foundational Tamil-first AI models that link classical vocabulary with modern use-cases, thereby embedding culture and context into every layer of digital intelligence.
“By bringing together computers, researchers, startups, enterprises, and government under one Sovereign AI park, Sarvam AI, along with the Tamil Nadu Government, is set to create the conditions for intelligence to move from experimentation to real-world impact at national scale,” Sarvam AI Co-founder Pratyush Kumar said.
