\n
\n The proposal outlines a 70-acre, city-scale research and infrastructure initiative focused on advancing agentic and physicalAI systems in real-world conditions. According to an ET report, the estimated cost of the project is $650 million dollars.\n
\n
\n The first step is the B1 AI Superpark, a 5,00,000 sq ft campus coming up in Sarjapura. The company said the facility is designed for AI model training, fine-tuning and inference, with plug-and-play research space expected to host more than 10,000 researchers and innovators by the end of the year.\n\n
\n
\n In the longer term, the broader AI City vision aims to house up to 25,000 AI researchers by 2029.\n
\n
What the Superpark will include\n\n
\n
\n According to the company, the campus will be built for high-density compute and simulation workloads. It plans connectivity of up to 400Gbps to major AI cloud platforms, with sub-millisecond latency to support large-scale experiments.\n
\n
\n Bharat1.AI said the project will bring together institutions such as the Airawat Research Foundation (IIT Kanpur), SPARC at IISc, Wadhwani School of AI (IIT Kanpur), BITS Pilani, iSPIRT Foundation and IIT Ropar as early research partners. Researchers and startups from these institutions are expected to collaborate on robotics, autonomous systems, mobility and human-machine interaction.\n\n
\n
\n Umakant Soni, co-founder and CEO of Bharat1.AI, described the initiative as a response to AI systems moving beyond laboratory settings.\n
\n
\n He said scaling AI without validation in complex environments carries risk, and added that the Superpark is intended to create a ‘city-scale validation framework’ where systems can be tested before wider deployment.\n
\n
The ‘humanity-first’ framework\n
\n
\n The company outlined a seven-layer research ecosystem. It includes a seed-linked identity layer to bind AI actions to digitised human identity and consent; a risk-reward ledger for value distribution; safety stacks for AI agents with continuous evaluation; and open standards designed to avoid closed systems.\n\n
\n
\n It also plans multimodal test data streams that combine perception, action and feedback, allowing systems to learn cause and effect. Phase 1 will focus on stress-testing “universal basic intelligence” frameworks in controlled real-world settings.\n
\n
\n The company said it will explore anchoring agentic systems to digitised identity platforms such as Aadhaar.\n
\n
\n Tobias Halloran, Director of EMEAI Startups and Venture Capital at NVIDIA, said India’s AI startup ecosystem is well-positioned for rapid growth, citing strong technical depth and global ambition. He added that NVIDIA is supporting founders through accelerated computing access, scalable infrastructure, and initiatives such as NVIDIA Inception and the Inception VC Alliance.\n\n
\n
\n Over the next 36 months, the Superpark is expected to expand into a larger urban testbed. For now, the focus remains on building the initial campus and establishing research partnerships in Bengaluru’s tech corridor.\n
