Your AI agent should speak your language. All 22 of them.
OpenClaw has 60,000+ stars and proved that open-source AI agents can rival proprietary ones. But it runs on Claude, GPT, and DeepSeek — Western models that treat Indian languages as an afterthought.
India now has production-grade LLMs. Someone needs to fork OpenClaw and build on top of those. That's what IndusClaw is for.

Help translate — 6 languages still need native speakers
Sarvam-105B has 128K context across 22 languages. Krutrim-2 does fast inference at 12B parameters. Hanooman generates video. AI4Bharat's IndicTrans2 translates across every scheduled language.
The models are here. What's missing is an AI agent platform that treats them as first-class citizens — not a fallback option buried in a config file.
A fork of OpenClaw where:
- Indian LLMs are the default — Sarvam, Krutrim, or Hanooman out of the box, not something you swap in after setup
- All 22 scheduled languages work natively — your agent understands Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, and 18 more without bolting on a translation layer
- Voice comes first — critical when hundreds of millions of users speak before they type
- WhatsApp is the primary channel — because that's where India actually communicates
- Data stays sovereign — self-hostable on Indian infrastructure, nothing leaves unless you decide it should
- You pick the model — start with Indian LLMs, plug in OpenAI or Anthropic when you need them
OpenClaw's architecture is already model-agnostic. Its Gateway routes to any LLM via a config file. IndusClaw doesn't rebuild that — it tunes everything around it to work best with Indian models, Indian languages, and Indian users.
| Model | Who | Parameters | Languages | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sarvam-105B | Sarvam AI | 105B MoE | 22 Indian + EN | Government-backed under IndiaAI Mission. Open-source. 128K context. The strongest Indian LLM today. |
| Sarvam-30B | Sarvam AI | 30B MoE | 10+ Indian | Lighter. 32K context. Runs at the edge. |
| Krutrim-2 | Ola AI | 12B dense | 22 Indian | Fast. 128K context. Built on Mistral-NeMo. |
| Hanooman | IIT Bombay + Jio | 1.5B–40B | 11 Indian | Multimodal — generates text, speech, and video. |
| Airavata | AI4Bharat / IIT Madras | Various | 22 Indian | IndicTrans2 translation. IndicNLP datasets. The ecosystem foundation. |
| BharatGen | CDAC + IndiaAI | Various | 22 Indian | Government supercomputing initiative. Param 2 hardware. |
No model is locked in yet. The community decides what runs under the hood.
This is day zero. No fork exists yet. No agent code has been written. What exists is a thesis, a website, and open GitHub issues.

What needs to happen:
- Fork OpenClaw
- Swap the default model provider to an Indian LLM
- Add Indian language support to the agent runtime
- Build WhatsApp and Telegram integrations tuned for Indian usage patterns
- Voice-first interaction layer using Indian STT/TTS
- Community contributions for all 22 language translations
We need developers, translators, and people who know Indian LLMs to make this real.
The website supports 11 Indian languages. Five have full translations. Six need native speakers:
If you speak one of these languages, your translation helps bring AI agents to millions of people in their own words.
