Building India’s own large language model (LLM) from the ground up, Project Indus is our effort to celebrate India’s rich language heritage. It is a foundation model that will enable and simplify communication across the country and preserve our languages and dialects

Why Indus Project

Indus is a civilizational initiative tailored for India to empower all Indic languages that have originated out of The Indus Valley Civilization. The project's dual objectives are firstly, to construct a language model deeply rooted in Indian culture; and secondly, to excel in prevailing benchmarks. It is an endeavor to create a foundation model for Indian languages. In the first phase, we will be creating the LLM for Hindi language and 37+ dialects, and then move ahead in a phased manner to cover other languages and dialects
