Thore Network doubles down on multilingual AI with major investment in India tech infrastructure
As India strides confidently into the era of digital inclusion, one company has been quietly building the pipes for an AI-powered, multilingual future. Thore Network Pvt. Ltd., an 8-year-old pioneer in blockchain and digital assets, is now turning its attention toward Indic language AI infrastructure, investing in platforms that bridge India's rich linguistic diversity with modern technology.
With over 1.4 billion citizens and hundreds of dialects, India presents a unique challenge—and opportunity—for artificial intelligence. While global players dominate English-centric models, India's next tech leap lies in what experts call '
Sovereign AI
': solutions trained on local data, dialects, and cultural context.
Thore Network has announced three flagship initiatives that aim to contribute to this vision:
Insights AI: A multilingual search and discovery platform designed for context-aware results in Indian A dialect-first language translation and communication app, built for daily vernacular ChatBot: A native-language chatbot assistant tailored to Indian service sectors and regional queries.
While not explicitly a government project, these initiatives align closely with the Bhashini framework under India's digital language inclusion efforts.
'For us, Mailjol isn't just a product. It's a philosophy of interconnectedness — making sure no language is left behind in the digital age,' said Alok Kumar, Founder & CEO of Thore Network.
Organizational Restructuring & Funding Commitment
Thore Network recently underwent a significant organizational overhaul, restructuring as an equity-holding company with plans to open its cap table to private placement in Q1 2025.
The firm has committed an initial $500,000 to its AI language verticals, and is reportedly in active discussions for grant support and private venture capital to further scale its initiatives.
'We believe this investment is not just strategic—it's cultural. There's a responsibility to build for Bharat, and we're taking that seriously,' added Kumar.
In parallel, Thore Network is preparing for a pilot rollout of an AI-based road safety and emergency response system, starting with select states. The mobile platform will integrate real-time toll tracking, driver alerts, and voice-based assistance, especially for non-English users—marking another step in their vision for citizen-first AI.
Vice Chairman and Whole-Time Director Prashant Kolhe, known for his role in over 100 successful IPOs, commented on the company's roadmap:
'Our balance sheet is clean, our tech is maturing, and we've shown product-market fit in crypto and now AI. If everything aligns, 2027 could be our listing year,' Kolhe noted.
'We didn't pivot — we evolved. AI is the next logical extension of our blockchain base. Language is infrastructure,' Alok Kumar, Founder & CEO – Thore Network said.
'Execution. Building the trust layer. And reaching the next 500 million users — not in English, but in Bhojpuri, Tamil, and Konkani. We're bootstrapped, profitable, and now opening up for like-minded investors who understand Bharat's tech future. Thore Network continues to build at the intersection of decentralized infrastructure and human-centric AI, staking its claim in India's next tech decade, " He added.
