NEW DELHI: HP and Indian AI company Sarvam have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to integrate Sarvam’s voice and language AI capabilities into HP devices at scale. The partnership aims to make everyday computing more natural, multilingual and accessible for users across India.
The initial focus is on voice-based interaction through Sarvam’s Kivi application, which will come pre-installed on HP laptops.
What Kivi Offers
Kivi is a voice app powered by Sarvam that allows users to interact with their computers by speaking instead of relying solely on keyboards and traditional menus.
Users can dictate text, draft or rewrite content, search for information and receive assistance across the applications they already use.
The application supports more than 22 Indian languages and enables natural code-switching, allowing users to move between languages mid-conversation in the same way they speak in daily life.
Addressing Language Barriers
A large number of Indians communicate primarily in languages other than English and frequently switch between languages. Traditional PC interfaces, however, often require users to adapt to English-centric typing, commands and search systems.
By embedding Indian-language voice AI directly into HP devices, the partnership seeks to reduce this friction and make computing more inclusive, particularly for those who find typing or conventional interfaces challenging.
Ipsita Dasgupta, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of HP India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, said: “AI adoption will depend on how naturally the technology fits into the way people already work and learn. By bringing Sarvam’s AI capabilities to HP devices, we can make these experiences more accessible across languages and everyday computing tasks.”
Pratyush Kumar, Co-Founder of Sarvam, noted: “The PC remains the primary interface through which much of the world gets work done. Voice offers a more natural way to interact with it. By bringing Sarvam’s voice and language capabilities to HP devices, we can make that interaction available across the applications people already use every day.”
While voice is the starting point, the MoU envisages a deeper collaboration. HP and Sarvam intend to explore additional AI experiences across devices and everyday workflows as artificial intelligence continues to reshape user expectations from personal computers.
The partnership brings together HP’s extensive device ecosystem and market reach with Sarvam’s India-focused voice and language models.
It represents a step toward embedding sovereign AI capabilities built in India directly into the hardware that millions of people use for work, learning and content creation.
