India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has launched three indigenous AI foundation models—EKA-1, Dhīr 2B, and Dhīr 5B—developed domestically under the IndiaAI Mission. These models support multiple Indian and international languages, offer specialised capabilities in mathematics, coding, reasoning, and cybersecurity, and can run in secure offline and air-gapped environments.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You must consider building AI tools that operate offline and support Indian languages to access an emerging domestic AI base. Deploying secure AI in offline or private cloud settings opens unique market opportunities not served by global models.
