HCLTech Backs Sarvam AI Unicorn Journey

Sarvam AI, a Bengaluru-based artificial intelligence startup, has become a unicorn after raising $234 million (around Rs 22.10 billion) in a Series B funding round.

The funding was led by HCLTech and Bessemer Venture Partners, with support from existing investors Khosla Ventures and Peak XV Partners.

As part of the deal, HCLTech will acquire a 10.46% stake in Sarvam AI for Rs 14.27 bn, making it the company's largest strategic investor.

The latest funding has pushed Sarvam AI's valuation above $1 billion, making it one of only two Indian AI startups to achieve unicorn status, alongside Krutrim.

The investment comes as India focuses on building its own AI capabilities and reducing dependence on foreign AI technologies. Sarvam AI develops AI models, infrastructure, and applications for businesses, developers, and government organizations.
