Actually Zoho, Lenskart, quick heal if given funding and mandate, they would have higher probability to develop. Making those products popular totally depends on Govt policy.

Why? Product development is all about attitude. Dehaadi Thekedaars would not understand this.

Raghav & Abhinav Aggarwal, Ankush Sabharwal On India's AI Revolution | Republic Plenary Summit

A few AI entrepreneurs on the AI scene in India. Seem gung ho at the opportunities & GoI's policies at The Republic Plenary Summit.

If we've to move further in this field we'd have to look at young entrepreneurs . The older generation are either too old , have lost their risk taking appetite , are too conservative , have struck back room deals not to get into products with their principals in the US , are happy body shopping with ever decreasing scope & margins in an arbitrage business etc .

It's either some or most of the reasons cited above.

India AI Mission: How we're poised to ride next innovation wave​

On February 11, at the AI Action Summit in Paris, Prime Minister Narendra Modi touched upon all these developments as he announced India’s plan to develop “its own LLM considering our [linguistic] diversity”. In fact, there are several parallel efforts ongoing in this domain, including a foundational model funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST). Called BharatGen, this suite of LLMs is being developed by a Technology Innovation Hub at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay. “By enabling an ecosystem around its foundational models, BharatGen envisions positioning India as a global leader in Generative AI,” Prof. Abhay Karandikar, secretary, DST, tells india today. “BharatGen will work with the ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY) and its IndiaAI Mission.”​

A six-month-old venture with a funding commitment of around Rs 236 crore over two years, BharatGen has been incorporated as a non-profit organisation. Being built from the ground up, the model spans text-to-speech and automatic speech recognition in multiple Indian languages. In this, it leveraged the work done by Bhashini, a natural language processing project for Indian languages under the MeitY. “We have also been building homegrown datasets. As Indian languages have less than one per cent representation on the internet, we need to curate original datasets,” says Prof. Ganesh Ramakrishnan of IIT Bombay, who leads the BharatGen consortium. “Not only is BharatGen government-funded, it is an academic collaboration by design.”​
