'Don't confuse access with ownership': Sarvam CEO says Anthropic shutdown strengthens India's sovereign AI...

Sarvam AI co-founder Vivek Raghavan recently cited the restriction of Indian users from Anthropic’s services as evidence for why nations must develop sovereign artificial intelligence infrastructure. He argued that reliance on foreign platforms leaves domestic companies vulnerable to sudden shifts in international corporate policy. This shift highlights a growing movement among emerging markets to build localized foundation models that are independent of US-based providers. By controlling their own AI stack, these countries aim to ensure data security and maintain uninterrupted access to critical technology.
