Sarvam AI pros and cons
Strong, purpose-built support for many Indian languages and scripts

Government-backed sovereign-LLM mandate lends credibility and resources
Open-weight models (e.g. Sarvam-30B) allow self-hosting and inspection
Newer and less battle-tested than global incumbents for general tasks
Per-token pricing has reportedly changed, so costs need re-checking
Not aimed at non-technical end users; it is a developer/API product
BHASHINI pros and cons
Free to use as government-backed public infrastructure
Broad coverage reported across all 22 scheduled Indian languages
Full stack: translation, ASR, TTS and transliteration
Open datasets and models support research and the ecosystem
Developer experience and docs can be rougher than commercial APIs
Quality and coverage vary by language and by task
Not a polished consumer chatbot; it is building-block APIs
