Orbo AI: Mumbai-based startup Orbo AI, known from Shark Tank India season 3, founded by Manoj Shinde, Abhit Sinha, and Danish Jamil in 2019, aids personal care brands to cut down customer acquisition costs. Their AI-driven virtual try-on solutions like "virtual make-up" and "virtual hair styling" enhance conversions at less than a rupee per customer. Their latest offering, "BeautyGPT," garnered 1 crore rupees investment, valuing the company at 100 crores. With over 22,000 users within 24 hours of their Shark Tank episode, they now serve 20 customers with 123 more in the pipeline, 54 post-episode.

Neural Garage: Bengaluru-based startup Neural Garage, established by Mandar Natekar, Anjan Banerjee, Subhabrata Debnath, and Subhashish Saha in 2021, tackles a unique challenge: facial expressions synchronization in dubbed content. Their patent-pending AI, VisualDub, aligns lip movements and facial expressions with audio, enhancing authenticity. Major brands like Amazon, Coca-Cola, and Microsoft have utilized their platform for localized ads, with undisclosed major studios and streaming platforms testing their technology.

Niqo Robotics: Niqo Robotics, a Bengaluru-based precision spraying startup, might seem mundane at first, but it's revolutionizing agriculture with its AI technology. Founder Jaisimha Rao explains the process: AI-equipped cameras on tractors swiftly analyze plants, deciding pesticide necessity in a mere 150 milliseconds, significantly cutting chemical costs for farmers by up to 90% while minimizing pesticide residues in food. With over 8.2 million images analyzed across 7 crops in 5 years.

Sarvam AI: Sarvam AI, headquartered in Chennai, addresses the disparity in language model costs for non-English apps. Vivek Raghavan and Pratyush Kumar founded it in 2023, focusing on Indian languages. Their initial release, a Hindi LLM named OpenHaathi, based on Meta's Llama2-7B model, reduces token usage by 3-4X, cutting costs for companies significantly.

Krutrim AI: Bengaluru's Krutrim AI, spearheaded by Ola's Bhavish Aggarwal since 2023, soared to India's first AI unicorn status post a $50 million fundraising in January 2024. Like Sarvam AI, Krutrim aims to pioneer generative AI for Indian languages but is already in public beta with its foundational model. Despite controversies, they aspire to surpass GPT4 in multiple Indian languages.

InsurStaq: Delhi-based InsurStaq, established by Shivam Kaushik and Mayan Kansal in 2022, offers a generative AI-driven insurance search engine. Simplifying insurance policy comprehension, their platform allows professionals to input queries and swiftly access relevant information, enabling policy comparisons without tedious manual searches. Supported by Nvidia's Inception Program and Microsoft for Startups, it enhances efficiency and accuracy for insurance professionals, potentially boosting sales.

Currently, Razorpay has also entered the generative AI space, where they have launched their own model named "Ray.".

Thanks for bringing us the amazing Indian AI companies in this video.

That insureGPT looks like a RAG, they scrap and curate a lot of data about insurance policies and uses RAG to provide that data in text. Looks like the easy one in this bunch. Startups like these are real risky, the way LLMs or AI is progressing these days, we never when an AI company makes another AI company obsolete.

Another great video Caleb. I can’t wait for the day when we will be watching your avatar in such a video using a technology like Unscript.

[VaibhavShewale]

wait wait, isnt krutrim was exposed of using using openai API?

[lucifer]

Krutrim is built on top of Open AI Foundation Model and they use Open AI APIs...


Sam Altman was right

[pavithranchidambaram]

Wow! This is great. I really wanna start making my own videos. How do I get started with Unscript? And where do I find it?

[veeranimmakayala-xhym]

bro can you tell me how we get fund for my ai startup from indian govt

[Kumarms]

It's been 1.5 years since Chatgpt launch....still no indian company has created a large language model while there are many other nations creating many llms which are as much capable as chatgpt.... example claude, mistral, anthropic etc etc

About 8 years ago, I tried the Raymond Suit simulator. It would scan your body and then show the suit on a large TV. It was OK but not great. Lenskart also lets you see glasses on. Sadly this as you say is all little boring. Hoping to see something good AI like Midjourney, Sora or Leonardo from India. I will wait on the day you actually try the AI from unscript, and let us know that you are actually an AI bot.

[drpmoqt]

hope you are adequately compensated for your work....appreciate that.

[aksshatkumar]

Which are the 15 companies around the world that are working on Foundational models and they are of which country except the 2 from India ? Can I get to know

[MayankMasiwal]

Votings are near, everybody vote carefully for the good party 😊

[abhishekbhagat]

No body in India is that capable of building something into a foundational level, as an example you can see that there's no such thing in opensource, everything Indian Companies or developers use are either from an opensource project or a project copied from another country. I have not seen any open source projects from the country. Even an average company or agency working in India depends upon a cracked or gpl based alternative. Here the projects started are either for showing that I have built and good but it doesn't have a business value. Talking about people giving big statements or startup founders like ashneer or anupam or someone else, they don't have a vision seeing ability. Nearly every startup in India is a copy from another country. There's a lot to say about all this stuff but let me not go on. And for the optimistic people who say no you cant say like this or You dont know, please shut ur mouth and go on dreaming.

[PrashantMaurice]

this is clickbait title, none of the big companies are that bothered by any competitor who does not own significant compute

[AyushSingh-benm]

I dont think Sam Altman is worried about any of the AI companies as according to your thumbnail, because unlike Indians his goal is to develope AGI not making money.

[Lyricverse]

Almost all startups are from Bangalore 💯🔥🔥

[prakarshgupta]

22000 hits in 24 hours, that sounds familiar

70 ghante kaam wale uncle se paise mango, to create a foundation model for "'Desh"'.

Even "'professors"' ko thik se knowledge nhi h, aur critical thinking (multidimensional) to even iitians me mil jae to badi baat hogi.

Kuchh woman empowerment, climate change, deshbhakti etc bolke modi ji se paise liye ja sakte hain to start something ( because wo bhi west ke issues copy karke yhn khud ko cool dikhane ka try karte, like any other Indian)
