Sarvam AI 任命前 Google Cloud 印度董事总经理 Sashikumar…

Sarvam AI has appointed former Google Cloud India Managing Director Sashikumar Sreedharan as its President and Chief Business Officer (CBO), as the Indian AI startup looks to strengthen its presence in the enterprise and government sectors.

Sreedharan will lead Sarvam’s business across enterprises and government institutions, while overseeing its work with digital-native companies, developers, and partners. He will also be responsible for marketing, finance, forward-deployed engineering, service delivery, and commercial operations. He will join the company's board of directors.

Sreedharan joins Sarvam from Google Cloud, where he most recently served as Managing Director for India. He brings over three decades of experience in the technology industry. Before Google, he led Microsoft India’s enterprise business as Managing Director for more than five years.

The appointment comes as Sarvam expands its enterprise and government customer base. The company said more than 100 enterprises and government institutions are building with its full-stack AI offering.

Commenting on his appointment, Sreedharan said, “India should be a maker of the intelligence the world runs on. For me, joining Sarvam is a commitment to that opportunity. I look forward to working with the team and our customers to build products that become part of how industries and governments operate.”

Sarvam said its next phase of growth will focus on advancing its research, developing products for global markets and scaling its operations.

The company is also positioning enterprise ownership of AI as a central part of its strategy. Its approach centres on keeping enterprise data, models, and agents within organisations, allowing them to retain control over their AI systems and the value they generate.

Sarvam believes enterprise requirements will also feed into its research efforts, with industry demands driving research and research breakthroughs supporting the development of new industries.
