Gnani AI launches Ascent partner programme to scale sovereign AI across enterprises

Gnani AI on Tuesday announced that it has launched Ascent, a partner programme aimed at helping enterprises deploy and scale sovereign, enterprise-grade artificial intelligence (AI) in production.

The company said the programme brings together technology, domain, infrastructure and implementation partners as enterprises move from experimenting with AI to deploying it across business workflows and systems.

Ascent builds on Gnani AI’s sovereign AI stack, which was unveiled in New Delhi in August. The company’s full-stack architecture includes its domain-specific language and speech models — Evon, Timbre, Prisma and Warp — along with Plexus, its agentic and conversational AI platform, and enterprise applications.


The programme connects this technology stack with consulting and knowledge firms, global systems integrators, cloud and infrastructure providers, CCaaS and CPaaS platforms, technology companies, OEM and silicon partners, and go-to-market partners.

Gnani AI said its technology is currently deployed across more than 200 enterprises, processing over 50 million calls a day across more than 22 languages. Its deployments include regulated sectors such as banking, insurance and government.

“India has the opportunity not only to adopt AI, but to build and deploy intelligence designed for the complexity, scale and requirements of enterprises globally. No single technology layer can deliver that transformation alone,” said Ganesh Gopalan, co-founder and CEO, Gnani AI.

The company said more than 25 partners are already engaged with Ascent within weeks of its launch. These include Hexaware, Intel, Cisco, Fortanix, Vymo, Melento and FCI, along with regional partners such as Rise, iSteer, Gibraltar Technologies in the Middle East, IPS Pro in Japan and InfiniVAN in the Philippines.

The programme will allow partners to work with Gnani AI on joint solution development, implementation, platform integration, embedded AI and go-to-market initiatives.

“Enterprises want AI that works in production, not a stitched-together stack. Combining Gnani AI's models with our delivery expertise, we can make that happen at scale,” said Aditya Jayaraman, India Country Head, Hexaware.

Gnani AI said Ascent will focus on use cases including enterprise-scale conversational AI and sovereign, resident AI for regulated workloads, as companies look to deploy AI while retaining greater control over their data and infrastructure.
