Its funding sets it apart from everything else on this list. BharatGen secured Rs 988.6 crore under the IndiaAI Mission, reported as the largest single share of MeitY's Rs 1,500 crore allocation. That is public money at a scale comparable to the venture rounds raised by the largest private Indian AI companies, directed at models whose weights are intended to be a national resource rather than a commercial asset.
