Sarvam AI moves from software to full-stack hardware (smart glasses), signaling a push for Indian AI sovereignty and vertical integration in the wearables market.
Sarvam AI has unveiled Kaze, India's first indigenous AI-powered smart glasses designed and built entirely in the country, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi becoming the first person to test the device at the India AI Impact Summit 2026. This marks a significant shift from software APIs to full-stack AI hardware, positioning India alongside global players like Meta Ray-Ban in the emerging wearables market. Scheduled for commercial launch in May 2026 with homegrown foundational models optimized for Indian languages, Kaze represents a strategic move toward AI sovereignty and vertical integration. The device features listening, understanding, and visual capture capabilities, with a developer platform enabling custom experiences. This launch signals India's ambitions to control both the AI models and the hardware layer for population-scale impact.
