3AI Holding and SML India

3AI Holding Limited, an AI investment entity based in Abu Dhabi, has partnered with SML India to co-own ‘Hanooman’, touted as India’s most extensive and cost-effective multilingual GenAI platform. Launched at the NASSCOM NTLF Techade conference in February, ‘Hanooman’ is poised for a grand launch on May 1, 2024. This collaboration aims to harness 3AI Holding’s cutting-edge Omega generative AI technology to enhance ‘Hanooman’, marking a significant leap in AI accessibility and performance.

The partnership is set to revolutionize the AI landscape in India by targeting an ambitious user base of 200 million across 22 Indian languages within its first year. Recognizing the linguistic diversity of India, where 80% of its 1.42 billion population communicates in non-English languages, ‘Hanooman’ is designed to bridge the digital divide, ensuring widespread AI accessibility. This joint venture envisages a 50-50 ownership model between the two companies, offering a comprehensive suite of multimodal and multilingual functionalities, including text, voice, image, and code interfaces.


‘Hanooman’ represents a pioneering effort in building a foundational model by India for India, with the broader vision of fostering a global generative AI ecosystem. This initiative also aims to support startups and innovation within the AI space, in partnership with NASSCOM, by providing a robust platform for development and incubation.

The strategic alliance between 3AI Holding and SML India is grounded in the shared mission of democratizing AI technology under the ‘Hanooman’ brand, ensuring its accessibility to the wider Indian population. This move comes at a critical time when India is increasingly becoming a focal point for global AI development and deployment.

Arjun Prasad, Managing Director of 3AI Holding, emphasizes the company’s commitment to pushing AI innovation boundaries for societal betterment. This partnership with SML India underscores a shared goal of making AI universally accessible and inclusive, particularly across India’s vast linguistic landscape.

Dr. Vishnu Vardhan, Co-Founder and CEO of SML India, highlights the transformative potential of the ‘Hanooman’ platform in changing the Indian populace’s interaction with technology. The collaboration with 3AI Holding and the integration of its proprietary Omega generative AI technology is set to significantly expand ‘Hanooman’s reach and impact, positioning India at the forefront of global AI adoption.

Under the leadership of Arjun Prasad and Dr. Vishnu Vardhan, this joint venture heralds a new era in technology repatriation and talent retention, aiming to catalyze India’s journey towards becoming a trillion-dollar economy through generative AI.
