SLM deployment and fine-tuning services for Indian startups

The Opportunity

Indian startups pivoting to Small Language Models (SLMs) face three barriers: (1) lack of in-house expertise to select, deploy, and fine-tune SLMs for local languages and privacy-sensitive use cases, (2) no local vendor ecosystem for cost-effective model optimization, and (3) regulatory uncertainty around data residency and privacy compliance under India's evolving AI rules. They need hands-on technical partners who understand both SLM architecture and India's regulatory landscape.
