GAHNA, India’s Inaugural Sovereign AI Model for Cybersecurity, Set for Launch at IIT Bombay E-Summit

Mumbai, Maharashtra Nov 11, 2025  – India makes a significant stride towards digital autonomy. ExorionAI is pleased to confirm the forthcoming introduction of GAHNA, the nation’s inaugural domestically developed Small Language Model (SLM) specifically tailored for Cybersecurity and Threat Intelligence. This momentous debut will occur at Asia’s premier entrepreneurial forum, IIT Bombay E-Cell E-Summit 2025, scheduled for December 11, 2025.

At a juncture when India’s digital economy is experiencing unparalleled growth, marked by unprecedented UPI transaction volumes, expanding digital public utilities, and heightened susceptibility to international cyber risks, GAHNA stands as a crucial safeguard. It has been conceived and engineered wholly domestically to protect India’s data, networks, and digital ecosystems.

A significant iteration of the model, GAHNA CyberMind, is envisioned to function as an advanced AI assistant for cybersecurity professionals and agencies. It possesses the capability to analyze Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, automatically categorize threats, propose mitigation strategies, and optimize Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) operations; all while adhering to India’s unique regulatory frameworks, linguistic diversity, and infrastructure specifics.

“With GAHNA, India asserts command over its digital future. We are fostering intrinsic cyber resilience, rather than depending on external intelligence solutions,” stated Dr. Utpal Chakraborty, Founder & Chief Scientist at ExorionAI. “This truly represents our sovereign AI, built by India, for India.”

The Significance of GAHNA:

• Domestically Engineered: Developed, trained, and implemented exclusively on Indian infrastructure, eliminating reliance on external entities.
• Adherent & Transparent: Completely consistent with the foundational principles of IndiaAI and the DPDP Act.
• SLM Framework: Incorporates lightweight, effective, and analytical models, suitable for localized installations and isolated network environments.
• Nationally Relevant: Tailored to address Indian scenarios, linguistic diversity, specific attack methodologies, Security Operations Center (SOC) processes, and governmental infrastructures.

Economic & Strategic Ramifications:

Through GAHNA, ExorionAI introduces an economical, scalable, and secure AI layer that can be adopted by:

• Emerging Indian cybersecurity firms
• Government-operated Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) and Cyber Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs)
• Financial organizations and Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) networks
• Defense and intelligence organizations

GAHNA transcends merely being India’s contribution to the global AI competition; it is a pivotal instrument for fostering digital autonomy, enhancing economic robustness, and reinforcing national security.
