CoRover Launches BharatGPT Mini, 534 Mn Parameter Model in 14 Indic Languages

CoRover unveiled its latest offering, BharatGPT Mini, at VivaTech Paris 2025. The lightweight Small Language Model (SLM), trained on CoRover’s proprietary conversational dataset, features approximately 534 million parameters and supports 14 Indic languages for text-in, text-out tasks. 

The launch was officiated by Shri Jitin Prasada, Union Minister of State for Commerce & Industry and Electronics & IT.

This multilingual AI model can work offline, making it ideal for businesses and citizens for access to healthcare, education, government services, banking, and more in 14 Indian languages, simply by speaking.

Designed for both edge and server use, BharatGPT Mini enables efficient AI performance on low-end devices—addressing India's growing demand for accessible, fast, and privacy-first AI systems that don’t rely on cloud infrastructure. 

The model’s compact size and optimised design make it ideal for deployment in low-compute environments.

“I extend my sincere gratitude to Honorable Union Minister Mr. Jatin Prasad and Additional Secretary MeitY and India AI CEO Mr. Abhishek Singh for their invaluable contribution and support. BharatGPT Mini is a milestone in democratising access to intelligent conversational AI agents,” said Ankush Sabharwal, CEO at CoRover. 

The model is initially being released under a limited track and is available via CoRover Builder, a no-code/low-code DIY platform. The Builder tool allows users to create AI Assistants in minutes, supporting interactions through text, voice, and video across web, telephony, and IoT systems. 

It includes multi-language support, allowing quick deployment of intelligent agents without extensive technical overhead.

CoRover forecasts a fivefold increase in SLM adoption among small and mid-sized businesses by FY 2026. With cloud costs rising and data privacy becoming more critical, the company expects BharatGPT Mini to emerge as the go-to AI model for resource-limited environments.
