The platform, first unveiled at the IndiaAI Impact Summit in February 2026, is now available in 34 global languages and consists of two key technologies — Eros LCVM (Large Cultural Voice Model) and Eros Persona AI. Together, they form the foundation of a new AI category that Eros calls "Cultural AI."
‘’The platform was the result of years of research into whether AI could be designed to understand culture rather than simply process language,” said Ridhima Lulla, Co-Founder and Co-President of Eros Innovation. "The Eros Cultural AI Platform is the culmination of years of work on one foundational question: Can AI be built to understand culture, not just language? LCVM and Persona AI are the answers. The platform is live. The first consumer product follows next week. And what comes after that is only possible because of what we built here," she said.
The Eros Cultural AI Platform is built to retain cultural context, emotional expression, identity and performance nuances. The company says LCVM can generate continuous performances of up to five minutes while preserving voice characteristics, lip-sync accuracy, emotional depth and cultural authenticity across multiple languages. Persona AI serves as the identity layer, enabling digital characters and personalities to remain consistent across platforms, audiences and experiences.
Built on a rights-cleared dataset comprising more than 11,000 films and over 100,000 characters, the platform combines multilingual voice capabilities, music generation, storytelling, character performance and persistent digital identity within a single architecture. It is accessible through the Eros Universe Super App, where creators can build, animate and interact with culturally intelligent digital characters.
The Cultural AI ecosystem comprises five integrated layers: Eros LCM, which powers cultural intelligence and storytelling; Eros LCVM, focused on multilingual voice, music and performance; Eros Persona AI, which enables persistent digital identities; Eros Creator, a suite of tools for creators and enterprises; and Eros Universe, the consumer-facing distribution platform.
The company emphasized that each Persona represents a fictional identity and does not reproduce or depict any real-world actor, performer or public figure.
"The LCM family launched at the IndiaAI Summit as a sovereign AI initiative of India. LCVM is its voice — the layer that makes cultural intelligence audible, performable and distributable across 34 languages. Everything that follows is built on this foundation," said Kishore Lulla, Founder and Chairman of Eros Innovation. He described LCVM as a critical component of India's sovereign AI ambitions.
Shri S. Krishnan, Secretary, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) launched the platform. He highlighted the importance of developing AI systems that preserve cultural and linguistic diversity.
"India has the opportunity to lead not only in language AI, but also in the development of AI systems that understand culture, identity and context. As we build India's sovereign AI capabilities, preserving our linguistic diversity, cultural heritage and creative traditions in the digital age will become increasingly important," he said.
