It has been reported that Google has already committed to providing $500,000 in non-equity funding to the startup, with a majority of the funds already distributed since March. The remaining amount is expected to be received by December. Following the launch of the chatbot in the coming weeks, the $4 million investment will be made as equity.

Google serves as a strategic partner to CoRover.ai and offers credits for the use of its cloud computing services. This recent funding will greatly assist BharatGPT in scaling its operations in the future, as stated in the report.

The recent acquisition of Bengaluru-based AI-video creation startup Rephrase.ai by Adobe further emphasizes the growing significance of the Indian AI startup landscape.

So, let us look into the details why Google bets big on BharatGPT and invest so much of fund?

• CoRover.ai, a company with a user base of 1.3 billion, has introduced BharatGPT, a groundbreaking innovation that is set to revolutionize the field of Generative AI/Large Language.
