 "Indian GenAI platform Hanooman goes live in 98 global languages")
Homegrown generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) platform Hanooman went live in 98 global languages, including 12 Indian languages, on Friday.
Developed by 3AI Holding Limited and Seetha Mahalaxmi Healthcare (SML) India, the conversational AI platform aims to reach 200 million users within its first year of launch.
Apart from translation, the platform will also allow users to perform other tasks such as chatting, coding, and tutoring, among others.
“Hanooman represents a new era of AI innovation in India. With its launch, we aim to impact the lives of 200 million users within the first year alone. Eighty per cent of Indians can’t use English, hence, Hanooman’s capabilities to support Indian languages will bring GenAI within everyone's reach in India and open massive opportunities for companies and startups bringing GenAI products to the market,” said Vishnu Vardhan, co-founder and chief executive officer (CEO), SML India.
The platform is presently accessible for free, and the premium subscription plan will be launched later this year, said the company.
It aims to cater to four sectors, including healthcare, governance, financial services, and education.

Additionally, the company has partnered with artificial intelligence (AI) startups, will engage with 3,000 colleges, and participate in research programmes across the country.
The 12 Indian languages that the platform currently supports include Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Kannada, Odia, Punjabi, Assamese, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Sindhi.
Additionally, it will also have support for global languages, including English, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, Korean, and 80 other languages.
