New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi tried on a pair of sleek “glasses” at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 on Tuesday.
They were not just any other normal glasses, but an indigenous Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered device developed by homegrown startup Sarvam AI.
Sarvam Kaze, as this wearable is named, was unveiled at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, it is positioned as India’s homegrown alternative to global wearables like the Meta Ray-Ban.
Sarvam AI co-founder Pratyush Kumar posted a message on X, claiming that the Prime Minister was the first person to try out the device.
The glasses are designed to listen, understand, and respond to user queries while capturing what the wearer sees in real-time.
Unlike many competitors, it runs on Sarvam’s in-house AI stack, specifically optimized for Indian languages and regional contexts. It utilises the Sarvam Edge AI model, allowing it to process information locally on the device for faster responses, enhanced privacy, and offline functionality, as reported by News18.
Sarvam Kaze features a discreet “spectacles-like” frame with embedded cameras and microphones built into the arms for hands-free capture and interaction.
According to the company, through the Sarvam Platform, developers can build custom experiences and specialized applications tailored for the glasses.
The glasses support real-time interaction, allowing users to receive instant audio feedback or summaries based on their surroundings.
Sarvam Kaze is likely to be available in the market in May, the company has said.
What is important is that from design to technical development, the entire product has been made in India.
The development is considered important in the context of the ‘IndiaAI Mission’. The mission was launched by the central government in March 2024 with a provision of Rs 10,372 crore.
