Build a Hindi / Indic chatbot

← Cookbook

Serve Hindi and Indian-language chat on India-resident Krutrim and Sarvam models.

Krutrim + Sarvam, India routesSovereigntyBeginner8 min

For Indian-language products you want models that were built for Indic text and that stay in India. Krutrim and Sarvam cover this — point a system prompt at them and pin residency.

You'll use: India-resident Indic models + data_policy: "india_only". Browse them in the model catalog.

Do it

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.bharatrouter.com/v1", api_key="br-...")

r = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gemma-4-e4b-it",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "Aap ek sahaayak hain. Hamesha Hindi mein jawab dein."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Maharashtra ki raajdhaani kya hai?"},
    ],
    extra_body={"data_policy": "india_only", "optimize": "price"},
)
print(r.choices[0].message.content)

Picking a model

Krutrim is listed first by design — it's the home model. Add a fallback chain across these three for resilience without ever leaving India.
