BharatGen & Amrita Institutions Ink MoU to build India’s Sovereign AI for Healthcare

The institutions will work on building India-centric Medical Foundation Models, including domain-specific AI frameworks for EMR solutions and speech-first multimodal technologies

BharatGen Technology and Amrita Technologies, a company under the umbrella of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, have signed an MoU to build sovereign artificial intelligence (AI) solutions designed for India’s diverse healthcare ecosystem.

The partnership seeks to build multilingual, secure, and clinically aligned AI systems and reduce dependence on foreign AI models by focusing on India-specific datasets and healthcare challenges.

As part of the partnership, the institutions will work on building India-centric Medical Foundation Models, including domain-specific AI frameworks for EMR solutions and speech-first multimodal technologies.

Commenting on the partnership, Hrishikesh Mohan Bal, CEO, BharatGen Technology Foundation, said, “India’s sovereignty in AI is not just a technological imperative, it is a civilisational one. This partnership institutionalises that vision in healthcare, where the stakes are high. We are building models that speak India’s languages, understand India’s diseases, and serve India’s people, built from the ground up for Bharat.”

Reflecting his thoughts on the collaboration, Dr Venkat Rangan, Vice-Chancellor, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, said,“ This partnership with BharatGen expandsour ground-breaking work in AI for healthcare, to enhance the role of the rural doctor, to serve even the neediest populations, such as an elderly patient who speaks only her mother tongue.”

Further, as the first major milestone, the two institutions are combining sovereign AI infrastructure with clinical depth and hospital-scale validation.

The initial focus of collaboration includes scaling Med-Sum, Medical Summary via AI Scribe, an AI-powered clinical documentation platform developed by the Amrita School of Artificial Intelligence at the Faridabad hospital campus.

The solution is powered by BharatGen’s sovereign speech and foundational AI models, built to serve India’s multilingual and diverse healthcare ecosystem.

The Med-Sum enables real-time voice-to-text clinical transcription during doctor-patient consultations, automatically generates structured clinical summaries, and provides patient-friendly explanations in multiple Indian languages.

The solutions seek to reduce administrative burden, enhance workflow efficiency, and improve patient engagement across hospitals and community health settings.

The platform is reportedly being used by hundreds of doctors and patients following its successful clinical validation at Amrita Hospitals - Faridabad and Kochi.
