Sashikumar Sreedharan joins Sarvam as President and Chief Business Officer

Today, we’re welcoming Sashikumar as President and Chief Business Officer and a member of our board of directors. Sashi will lead our business across enterprises and government, and expand our work with digital native companies, developers and partners. He will also be responsible for Marketing, Finance, Forward Deployed Engineering, Service Delivery and Commercial Operations functions for the company.

Sashi joins us from Google Cloud, where he most recently served as Managing Director for India. He brings more than three decades of experience building and leading technology businesses. Previously, he led Microsoft India’s enterprise business as Managing Director for over five years.

Sashi joins us as our work with customers grows in scale and scope. Today, over 100 enterprises and government institutions are building with Sarvam’s full-stack offering. The next phase of Sarvam is about advancing our research, developing products loved by people around the world, and building a company that can operate at a much greater scale.

Every enterprise should own its AI. The data, the models and the agents stay inside the enterprise, and so does the value they create. We see a symbiotic relationship between frontier research and enterprise value creation. The demands of industry push our research further, and breakthroughs in research become the foundation for new industries.

“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,” said Sashi.

We’re excited for what we’ll build together. Sashi, welcome to Sarvam.
