BharatGen is set to unveil a 17-billion-parameter multilingual AI model at the India AI Impact Summit 2026. The model, called Param2 17B, is built to work across all 22 scheduled Indian languages.
The system has been developed using a Mixture of Experts architecture and trained heavily on Indian datasets. It is designed to handle reasoning, math, coding, and multimodal tasks involving text, speech, and vision.
Backed by the IndiaAI Mission, the project has access to government-supported high-performance computing infrastructure and a national dataset repository known as Bharat Data Sagar. BharatGen says the model will go live at the summit and be opened to developers and enterprises.
The company is positioning the model for real-world deployment. Applications are expected across governance, healthcare, education, finance, and other public service sectors.
One of the key showcases will be MahaGPT, developed with the Government of Maharashtra and MITRA. The system is aimed at improving efficiency in urban development and revenue-related processes.
Other pilot projects include multimodal citizen-access tools for the central government’s Department of Water and Sanitation. In Goa, BharatGen is working with Goa Electronics Limited on an AI-driven digital transformation effort.
In healthcare, Medsum—built by Mata Amrita Technologies—uses BharatGen’s models to connect doctors and patients through structured health information and conversational tools.
In education, the Kotak Education Foundation is deploying a system that evaluates spoken English fluency and communication skills. The tool generates structured scores and performance feedback for learners.
Cultural preservation is also part of the plan. Under the Ministry of Culture’s Gyan Bharatam initiative, BharatGen’s OCR and conversational AI tools will help digitise ancient manuscripts across 22 languages, with ambitions to scale to 50 crore documents.
BharatGen will not be alone at the summit. Eleven other firms are expected to announce foundational models, including Sarvam AI, which recently launched Saaras V3, a speech recognition model supporting all 22 scheduled Indian languages.
