Sarvam and Neysa Become AI Unicorns in Under Three Years; Sarvam Raises $234M
AI startups Sarvam and Neysa have reached unicorn status in under three years — an unusually fast climb for Indian deep-tech. Sarvam led the round tables with $234 million backed by HCLTech, Bessemer, Khosla Ventures and Peak XV.
Both companies sit on the infrastructure and foundation-model side rather than thin application layers, which is a meaningful shift: Indian investors have historically favored consumer and SaaS plays over capital-intensive model and GPU-cloud businesses.
Hiring implication: these companies compete for a small pool of ML-infrastructure, model-training and inference-optimization talent — skills worth building if you want into India's AI core rather than its application periphery.
