IndiGo Ventures invests in Sarvam to enhance Artificial Intelligence in aviation
IndiGo Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of IndiGo – India’s preferred airline and one of the fastest growing carriers in the world, today announced its investment in Sarvam, India’s full-stack sovereign AI company, as part of Sarvam’s Series B round of funding.
The investment builds on the existing relationship between IndiGo and Sarvam who have been working together to enhance customer experience, empower employees and streamline complex operational workflows across the airline through Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. The investment creates a long-term platform for accelerating AI-led innovation and operational excellence at IndiGo.
Aviation brings together high volumes of customer interactions, time-sensitive operations and a large, distributed workforce. The collaboration combines IndiGo’s core aviation expertise, operational scale and real-world use cases with Sarvam’s capabilities across AI models, voice and agentic systems to create a technology enabled, modern and future-ready airline infrastructure.
Neetan Chopra, Chief Digital and Information Officer, IndiGo, said: “Artificial Intelligence is fast becoming a foundational capability for the aviation industry, reshaping customer experience, workforce productivity and operational decision-making. Our partnership with Sarvam gives IndiGo access to cutting-edge AI capabilities, built in India, and tailored to the needs of the market. By combining these technologies with our operational expertise and scale, we can accelerate innovation while maximising value for our customers, employees, and other stakeholders.”
Sarvam builds across training and inference infrastructure, frontier models and enterprise AI products. Its technology spans text, speech, vision and documents, and is designed for secure deployment across complex, high-volume environments.
Pratyush Kumar, Co-founder, Sarvam, said:
“Aviation is a powerful setting for enterprise AI because it combines millions of customer interactions with complex, time-sensitive operations. IndiGo brings the domain depth and scale needed to identify where AI can create real value. Together, we can develop systems that are useful in production and build a stronger template for enterprise AI in India.”
IndiGo and Sarvam will continue to develop and evaluate applications across customer experience, employee productivity and airline operations, with the ability to expand successful use cases across IndiGo’s network.
