Sarvam AI unveils Kaze, its first AI-powered smart glasses designed and built in India

Sarvam AI has entered the smart glasses space with Sarvam Kaze, a pair of AI-powered glasses the Bengaluru-based startup says are fully designed and built in India. The company showed off the glasses at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi.Co-founder Pratyush Kumar announced the product on X. "Launching Sarvam Kaze, our foray into getting our models into your hands with our devices," he wrote. The glasses are set to go on sale in May 2026, with a chat feature expected to roll out later this week.On the surface, Kaze does what you'd expect from smart glasses in 2026—it listens, responds to voice commands, and captures what the wearer sees through embedded cameras. Sarvam is also letting developers build custom apps on its platform, though it hasn't shared much detail on what that looks like in practice.Where things get more specific is the AI underneath. Kaze runs on Sarvam's own foundational models, which are trained for Indian languages and use cases like voice interfaces and document processing. Meta's Ray-Ban glasses recently launched in India but still rely largely on English-first interactions, so there's a clear gap Sarvam is trying to fill.That said, there's a lot we don't know yet. Pricing, detailed hardware specs, battery life, and the actual quality of on-device AI responses are all still missing from the picture. The Kaze looks to have a clean spectacles-style frame, but beyond that, Sarvam hasn't given much away. The May launch will be the real test of whether the company can back up its hardware ambitions with a product that holds up against Meta's increasingly polished lineup.
