Gnani AI Launches Ascent Flagship Partner Program to Scale Sovereign, Frontier-Grade AI Across Enterprises

Ascent brings together technology, domain, infrastructure and implementation partners to turn enterprise AI ambition into production outcomes.

Gnani AI, a leading AI company, today 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 alone, 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, India on 28 August 2026 by Shri C.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 spanning Evon, Timbre, Prisma and Warp - its family of domain-specialized language and speech models; 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 & silicon partners, and go-to-market partners.

“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.”

-Ganesh Gopalan, Co-Founder and CEO, Gnani AI

Gnani AI's technology is already deployed across more than 200 enterprises, processing more than 50 million calls every day across 22+ languages, with production deployments across key Enterprise verticals as well as regulated industries including banking, insurance, and government.

“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,” said Ganesh Gopalan, Co-Founder and CEO, Gnani AI.

The Gnani Ascent program has partners including global players such as Hexaware Intel, Cisco, Fortanix, Vymo, Melento, FCI, and regional players such as 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 — an early signal of how fast enterprises and partners are converging around production-grade AI — Conversation AI at enterprise scale, and Sovereign, Resident AI for regulated workloads.

"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,” said Aditya Jayaraman, India Country Head, Hexaware.

"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."
