Gnani AI Launches Ascent Partner Programme to Scale Sovereign AI Across 200+ Enterprises

Gnani AI Unveils Ascent Partner Programme for Enterprise AI Deployment

Gnani AI has launched Ascent, its flagship partner program aimed at accelerating the adoption of sovereign AI across enterprises globally. The initiative addresses a critical shift as companies move from AI experimentation to full-scale production deployment, focusing on integrating intelligence into existing business workflows and systems.1

The Ascent partner programme brings together technology, domain, infrastructure and implementation partners to deliver enterprise-grade AI solutions that work in production environments rather than fragmented technology stacks.

The program builds on Gnani AI's sovereign AI stack, which was unveiled in New Delhi on August 28, 2026, by Shri C.P. Radhakrishnan, Vice-President of India.2

This foundation extends into a comprehensive ecosystem designed to scale sovereign AI across enterprises while maintaining data control and infrastructure integration capabilities.

Full-Stack Architecture Powers Sovereign, Frontier-Grade AI

At the core of Ascent lies Gnani AI's full-stack architecture, featuring domain-specific language and speech models including Evon, Timbre, Prisma and Warp. These models integrate with Plexus, the company's agentic and conversational AI platform, along with enterprise applications designed for production use.1

The Plexus agentic AI platform serves as the backbone for enterprise-scale conversational AI deployments across multiple industries.

Gnani AI's technology currently operates across more than 200 enterprises, processing over 50 million calls every day across 22+ languages.2

These deployments span regulated industries including banking, insurance, and government sectors where sovereign AI for regulated workloads becomes essential for compliance and data sovereignty requirements.

25+ Partners Join Forces for Joint Solution Development

Within weeks of launch, more than 25 partners have actively engaged with the Ascent program, signaling rapid industry convergence around production-grade AI solutions. The partner ecosystem includes global players such as Hexaware, Intel, Cisco, Fortanix, Vymo, Melento, and FCI.1

The program connects consulting and knowledge firms, global systems integrators, cloud and infrastructure providers, CCaaS and CPaaS platforms, technology companies, OEM and silicon partners, and go-to-market partners. This diverse partner base enables joint solution development, implementation, platform integration, embedded AI capabilities and coordinated market initiatives.

Industry Leaders Validate Enterprise AI Transformation

Aditya Jayaraman, India Country Head at Hexaware, emphasized the production-ready nature of the offering: "Enterprises want AI that works in production, not a stitched-together stack. Combining Gnani AI's models with our delivery expertise, we can make that happen at scale."2

This partnership approach addresses the complexity enterprises face when deploying AI across business workflows.

Anuj Jaiswal, Chief Product Officer at Fortanix, highlighted the security dimension: "Fortanix is proud to partner with Gnani AI to redefine the architecture of trust for the enterprise. Together, we are removing the tradeoff between innovation and privacy, so enterprises can be confident their data and intellectual property remain protected and under their control."2

This focus on data control becomes increasingly critical as enterprises deploy AI in sensitive environments.

Strategic Focus on Production Outcomes and Sovereign Intelligence

Ganesh Gopalan, Co-Founder and CEO of Gnani AI, articulated the broader vision: "India has the opportunity not only to adopt AI, but to build and deploy intelligence designed for the complexity, scale and requirements of enterprises globally. No single technology layer can deliver that transformation alone."1

The Ascent program represents this ecosystem approach, bringing together multiple capabilities around measurable enterprise outcomes.

The initiative focuses on two primary use cases: enterprise-scale conversational AI and sovereign, resident AI for regulated workloads. As companies seek to deploy AI while retaining greater control over their data and infrastructure, Ascent provides the framework for partners to deliver production-grade solutions that turn AI ambition into operational reality. For partners, the program offers pathways to engage across implementation, platform integration, embedded AI or go-to-market strategies, creating shared economic value through each deployment opportunity.
