Microsoft-backed AI4Bharat set to raise $12 million funding from Peak XV, Lightspeed

AI4Bharat, a start-up backed by Microsoft, is raising $12 million from venture capital firms Peak XV and Lightspeed Venture to develop artificial intelligence-powered chatbots for Indian languages, according to three people familiar with the matter.

AI4Bharat, which is also backed by the Indian government, has been developing AI models for speech recognition and translation.
