Seetha Mahalaxmi Healthcare (SML), in collaboration with IIT-Bombay, recently introduced ‘Hanooman’, a series of Indic AI models with multimodal specialties at the NASSCOM Technology and Leadership Forum held in Mumbai.

SML’s Hanooman is named after the Hindu deity Hanuman. “Hanuman is a great example of responsible power. Despite being the most-powerful entity, he never used his power for selfish needs,” said Vishnu Vardhan, founder of SML and Vizzhy, in an exclusive interview with AIM.

Vardhan said they came up with the name while framing the ethical framework for the model and added that it acts as a guideline to understand how their model should be – for the greater good.
