Breaking Down Language Barriers: Tech Mahindra’s Project Indus

Tech Mahindra has taken a significant leap in the world of artificial intelligence with the launch of Project Indus, a multilingual AI model designed to simplify industry-specific solutions. This ambitious project aims to bridge the language gap, starting with the Hindi language and its 37+ dialects.

Breaking down language barriers

In collaboration with Dell Technologies and Intel, Tech Mahindra is set to redefine AI-driven solutions across various sectors. The company’s unique ability to develop industry-agnostic large language models (LLMs) will be supported by Dell and Intel’s robust infrastructure.

The initial phase of Project Indus will focus on key use cases and pilot projects, such as offering infrastructure and computing as a service. This will enable customers to leverage various applications across sectors like healthcare, banking and finance, rural education, agriculture, and telecom.

Healthcare applications

The deployment of the Indus LLM will be facilitated using a ‘GenAI in a box’ framework, simplifying the implementation of advanced AI models for enterprises. This solution utilizes Dell’s computing solutions, storage, and networking capabilities, as well as Intel-based infrastructure solutions.

Simplifying AI implementation

Tech Mahindra plans to train future models using Intel’s AI assets and expand the project globally to preserve India’s rich language diversity and dialects. This move is expected to bridge the digital divide and open up new opportunities for businesses and individuals alike.

Preserving language diversity

As Nikhil Malhotra, Global Head of Makers Lab, Tech Mahindra, puts it, ‘Project Indus is our seminal effort to develop an LLM from the ground up.’ This project is a testament to the company’s commitment to innovation and its ability to drive positive change.
