Indian AI startup Sarvam AI has unveiled Sarvam Kaze, the country's first homegrown AI-powered smart glasses, at the India AI Impact Summit 2026. The device, fully designed and built in India, features voice recognition, visual capture, and runs on proprietary AI models optimized for 10+ Indian languages. Prime Minister Modi became the first to test the glasses, signaling strong government support. Launching in May 2026, Kaze represents a strategic pivot from Sarvam's $41M-backed AI software business into consumer hardware, directly challenging Meta Ray-Ban's English-first dominance. This move could unlock AI access for India's 1.4 billion population across diverse linguistic backgrounds.
