Gnani AI's partner program brings together technology, domain, infrastructure and implementation players, with more than 25 partners already actively engaged within weeks of launch, to help enterprises move sovereign, frontier-grade AI from experimentation into production.
Gnani AI, the frontier AI company, has announced Gnani Ascent, its flagship partner program built to accelerate the adoption of sovereign, frontier-grade AI across enterprises.
As enterprises move from AI experimentation to production, the challenge is increasingly not mere access to intelligence, but integrating it into the systems, workflows and environments where businesses operate. Ascent addresses that shift by bringing together the right combination of technology, domain, infrastructure and implementation partners around each enterprise's AI transformation.
The launch builds on Gnani AI's sovereign AI stack, unveiled in New Delhi on August 28, 2026 by SC.P. Radhakrishnan, Vice-President of India. Ascent extends that technology foundation into an ecosystem for building, deploying and scaling enterprise AI in production.
At its core is Gnani AI's full-stack architecture. It spans Evon, Timbre, Prisma and Warp, the company's family of domain-specialised language and speech models, along with Plexus, its agentic and conversation AI platform, and enterprise applications. Ascent connects that stack with consulting and knowledge firms, global systems integrators, cloud and infrastructure providers, CCaaS/CPaaS platforms, technology companies, OEM and silicon partners, and go-to-market partners.
Gnani AI's technology is already deployed across more than 200 enterprises, processing more than 50 million calls every day across 22+ languages. It runs in production across key enterprise verticals and in regulated industries including banking, insurance and government.
Ganesh Gopalan, Co-Founder and CEO, Gnani AI, said, "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. Ascent brings the ecosystem together around enterprise outcomes - from models and infrastructure to integration and implementation."
A growing partner ecosystem
The program's partners include global players such as Hexaware Intel, Cisco, Fortanix, Vymo, Melento and FCI. Regional partners include Rise (a National Holding Group Company), iSteer, Gibraltar Technologies in the Middle East, IPS Pro in Japan and InfiniVAN in the Philippines.
More than 25 partners are already actively engaged across these categories within weeks of Ascent's launch, with several more onboarding. Gnani AI describes this as an early signal of how fast enterprises and partners are converging around production-grade AI, from Conversation AI at enterprise scale to Sovereign, Resident AI for regulated workloads.
Aditya Jayaraman, India Country Head, Hexaware, said, "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."
"Fortanix is proud to partner with Gnani AI to redefine the architecture of trust for the enterprise," said Anuj Jaiswal, Chief Product Officer, Fortanix. "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."
What Ascent offers partners
For partners, Ascent is a way to bring production-grade AI, from Conversation AI to Sovereign and Resident AI, to their clients. They can engage across joint solutioning, implementation, platform integration, embedded AI or go-to-market, turning each opportunity into shared, measurable economic value.
