CoRover, a Bengaluru-based conversational AI company, has introduced BharatGPT Mini, India's first offline multilingual AI model, at VivaTech Paris 2025. The launch was officiated by Shri Jitin Prasada, Union Minister of State for Commerce & Industry and Electronics & IT.
BharatGPT Mini is a lightweight Small Language Model (SLM) with approximately 534 million parameters, supporting 14 Indic languages. Designed for low-infrastructure environments, it operates offline, making it suitable for regions with limited internet connectivity. This model aims to provide AI-driven services in sectors such as healthcare, education, government services, and banking, enabling users to interact in their native languages without relying on cloud-based processing.
Optimized for both edge and server deployments, BharatGPT Mini ensures efficient AI performance on low-end devices, addressing the need for privacy-centric, cloud-independent solutions in India. The model is available through CoRover's no-code/low-code platform, CoRover Builder, allowing users to create AI assistants across text, voice, and video channels without requiring extensive technical expertise.
CoRover anticipates a significant increase in the adoption of Small Language Models among small and mid-sized businesses by the fiscal year 2026, positioning BharatGPT Mini as a key player in accessible, multilingual AI innovation in India.
