Sarvam today announced that Sashikumar Sreedharan has joined the company as President and Chief Business Officer. He also joins Sarvam’s board of directors. Sashikumar will lead Sarvam’s business across enterprises and government. He will expand its work with digital native companies, developers and partners. He will oversee the Marketing, Finance, Forward Deployed Engineering, Service Delivery and Commercial Operations functions.Â
Sashikumar joins Sarvam from Google Cloud, where he most recently served as Managing Director for India. He brings more than three decades of experience building and leading technology businesses. Previously, he led Microsoft India’s enterprise business as Managing Director for over five years.Â
The appointment comes as Sarvam’s work with customers grows in scale and scope. Today, over 100 enterprises and government institutions are building with Sarvam’s full-stack offering. The next phase of Sarvam is about advancing its research, developing products loved by people around the world, and building a company that can operate at a much greater scale.
 Sarvam believes every enterprise should own its AI. The data, the models and the agents stay inside the enterprise, and so does the value they create. Sarvam sees a symbiotic relationship between frontier research and enterprise value creation. The demands of industry push its research further, and breakthroughs in research become the foundation for new industries.
 “India should be a maker of the intelligence the world runs on. For me, joining Sarvam is a commitment to that opportunity. I look forward to working with the team and our customers to build products that become part of how industries and governments operate,” said Sashikumar Sreedharan, President and Chief Business Officer, Sarvam.
