The partnership focuses on building India-centric Medical Foundation Models, domain-specific AI frameworks for Electronic Medical Records (EMR), and speech-first multimodal systems—all designed for clinical and community use with responsible AI at the core. BharatGen, a Section-8 not-for-profit based at IIT Bombay, spearheads foundational AI research and sovereign model development.

Shri 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."
Amrita Technologies contributes deep expertise in EMR systems and healthcare data engineering. The Amrita Hospitals provide a crucial real-world clinical backbone for validation and deployment, with Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham serving as the overarching mission leader.
Dr. Venkat Rangan, Vice-Chancellor, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, said, At Amrita, our Chancellor Amma has set our mission as Compassion-driven Research. This partnership with BharatGen expands our ground-breaking work in AI for healthcare, to enhance the role of the rural doctor, to serve even the most needy populations, such as an elderly patient who speaks only her mother tongue."
First Milestone: Together, the two institutions combine sovereign AI infrastructure with clinical depth and hospital-scale validation. The collaboration’s immediate priority is scaling Med-Sum: Medical Summary via AI Scribe.
Med-Sum is developed by the Amrita School of AI, Delhi NCR, Faridabad Hospital campus, and powered by BharatGen’s sovereign speech and AI models. Med-Sum enables:
Real-time voice-to-text clinical transcription.
Automated clinical summaries.
Patient-friendly explanations in multiple Indian languages.
Following rigorous clinical validation at Amrita Hospitals - Faridabad and Kochi, the platform is already being used by hundreds of doctors and patients, marking a significant leap toward inclusive, tech-enabled healthcare.
See Med-Sum Live at the BharatGen Pavilion 1.17, Hall 1, Bharat Mandapam from 16–20 February 2026.
