Sarvam AI API is a model platform for developers building applications in Indian languages. It combines chat completion with Sarvam-105B and other language models, speech-to-text transcription, text-to-speech through Bulbul models, translation, transliteration, language identification, document digitization, structured extraction, dubbing and instant voice cloning. The platform suits teams creating multilingual assistants, speech interfaces, document workflows or media localization products, from small companies through enterprise deployments.

Pricing is usage-based rather than subscription-based. Pay as you go uses credits, while Pro and Growth provide discounted per-unit API rates; Business adds a higher-volume usage tier. Rates vary by API and service. The published starting rate is ₹0.29 per 1,000 characters, and new users receive ₹100 in credits. Because costs depend on the selected endpoint and volume tier, buyers should estimate usage by API instead of relying on a single platform-wide rate. There is no free plan, although the introductory credits provide a way to begin with paid access.

Integration options cover REST, batch and WebSocket streaming, with official Python and JavaScript/TypeScript SDKs that support asynchronous and streaming workflows. Cloud and self-hosted deployment give teams flexibility over where applications run, while SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance are listed for organizations with formal security requirements. The standout strength is breadth across Indian-language text, speech and document tasks in one API family. However, teams specifically seeking image generation or embedding models will need another provider or an additional service. Choose Sarvam for Indian-language applications spanning several modalities; look elsewhere when those unlisted model types are central to the product.
