For this, the company announced a collaboration with IIT Madras and Google DeepMind to support the launch of Indic Arena – a public benchmarking platform run by AI4Bharat that will evaluate AI models across India’s diverse languages.

“At AI4Bharat, our mission is to build AI for India’s specific needs,” said Mitesh Khapra, Associate Professor at IIT Madras. “Indic Arena will be that platform.
