Where India's AI Begins
Mantra is India’s foundation model, sovereign and designed for India’s scale, languages, and constraints. It is built here, for the people who will use it, with the depth and rigour the frontier asks for.
We are building for India
Designed from the ground up for the diversity and complexity of the Indian context, rather than adapted to it after the fact. The many languages, scripts, and ways of speaking that India actually uses are held as a first principle.
We are building for everyday use
Mantra powers products, services, and experiences that feel native to the people they serve. The value of the research shows up in ordinary use, not in the benchmark alone.
We are building for the community
The goal is simple: world-class AI, rooted in India, accessible to anyone who wants to build something meaningful. Put the models and the tools in open hands, and the ecosystem does the rest.
Why us
The world’s best models are fast or diverse or powerful, but rarely all three. Mantra is built from the ground up to be exactly that.
-
01
Speed
The responsiveness real-world deployment demands, so the work moves as fast as the person doing it.
-
02
Diversity
The many languages, scripts, and ways of speaking that India actually uses, held as a first principle rather than an afterthought.
-
03
Power
Reasoning that competes at the frontier and holds up on long, difficult problems.
- 950M+
- internet users in India, with smartphone adoption already widespread
- 22
- official languages that global models still are not built to serve
- One
- national push for AI sovereignty, actively underway
Vision
A future where every Indian product, service, and experience is powered by intelligence built in India, and where India sets the standard for how AI is built for the next wave of the world.
