CoRover.ai, an Indian conversational AI startup known for BharatGPT, is shutting down its subsidiaries in the US and UK to concentrate its resources on the domestic market. While the exact number of layoffs is not specified, the closure of these international offices will result in job losses as the company exits those operations. This strategic pivot, announced by founder and CEO Ankush Sabharwal, is driven by overwhelming demand in India's rapidly growing generative AI sector, which is projected to become a $17 billion opportunity by 2030. The decision reflects a focused effort to prioritize the Indian market, where CoRover serves major clients like IRCTC and the Government of India, before potentially re-entering global markets in the future.
