GenAI platform Hanooman enters into strategic partnership with 3AI Holding

Kolkata, Apr 10 (UNI) 3AI Holding Limited, a global AI investment firm from Abu Dhabi, on Wednesday announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with SML India, allowing them to jointly own ‘Hanooman’, India’s largest and most affordable, accessible, and attainable multilingual GenAI platform.
Seetha Mahalaxmi Healthcare (SML) introduced Hanooman in Feb this year in NASSCOM’s NTLF Techadeconference. 3AI Holding’s homegrown proprietary patent pending Omega generative AI will make ‘Hanooman’, bigger and more powerful, which is set to launch on May 01, 2024, according to a media statement here.

With the newly formed strategic partnership between 3AI Holding and SML, Hanooman aims to reach 200 million users in 22 Indian languages within the first year from the day of its launch.
India's 142 crore population has 80 per cent
non-English speaking. Hanooman will empower everyone and will be within the reach of masses by coming up with local languages.
It will be jointly owned by both parties, each holding a 50 per cent share. With this joint venture, Hanooman will offer its multimodal and multilingual capabilities, including Text, Voice, Image and Code to its users. Through this joint collaboration, Hanooman, a foundational model built in India for India, will create a generative AI ecosystem for the world, enabling budding generative AI platforms to build their applications. It will also be offering the platform to startups and incubate them along with NASSCOM to ensure that Generative AI space thrives and India gets the required boost to lead this space. With its multilingual capabilities and collaboration with NASSCOM, Hanooman aims to benefit both end users and corporations.

SML India and 3AI Holding believe in the fundamental mission of ‘AI for All’, and the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the two companies is a testimony to this commitment by democratizing the generative AI space for the Indian masses, under the brand name of ‘Hanooman’. This comes at a time when global generative AI companies are eyeing India, making it one of the critical markets for the development and consumption of AI products.

Speaking on the collaboration, Arjun Prasad, Managing Director, 3AI Holding, said, "We are committed to pushing the boundaries of AI innovation to enhance human well-being and societal development. The partnership with SML to power Hanooman, is a step towards our shared vision to provide equitable AI access to the Indian masses. We are focusing on catering to a diverse range of users through our advanced multilingual text capabilities. This collaboration is aligned with our vision of bridging the gap between India and Bharat. We are driven towards making AI inclusive and accessible to everyone in a language of their choice, reaching the remotest corners of the country."

Dr. Vishnu Vardhan, Co-Founder & CEO, SML India, said,"We are excited to partner with 3AI Holding to introduce a more advanced avatar of 'Hanooman,' which will revolutionize how Indians interact with technology. With this strategic partnership, we aim to reach 200 million users in 22 Indian languages within 12 months. 3AI Holding’s proprietary, patent-pending Omega generative AI will further help us expand our reach to the masses in a way that has never been possible before. This will make India a pioneer in the adoption and usage of AI, benefiting a vast majority of people in our country. This collaboration underscores our commitment to India by delivering advanced AI solutions for the Indian masses with application across industries like healthcare, legal services, and education, among others."
