Head of Brand & Communications

About Sarvam

Sarvam is building the bedrock of Sovereign AI for India. The company is developing India’s full-stack sovereign AI platform, building across research, models, infrastructure and applications with a singular focus on making AI genuinely work for India. Sarvam works with leading enterprises and public institutions and is backed by Lightspeed, Peak XV, and Khosla Ventures. Sarvam partners with India’s leading brands, including Tata Capital, SBI Life, CRED, IDFC, and LIC.

About the Role

Sarvam is building sovereign AI for India - foundational models, a developer platform, and enterprise products that put AI to work across BFSI, healthcare, and the public sector. The Head of Brand & Communications owns how that story is understood: how Sarvam shows up to developers, enterprises, the media, policymakers, and the public, and how a coherent brand and narrative are built across every channel.

The mandate is to define Sarvam's brand and lead its communications — shaping press narratives, driving proactive media engagement, placing the founders and research where they matter, and building credibility with technical, business, and policy audiences. You will set the strategy and build the system: the brand identity, the narrative, the newsroom, and the team and partners to execute across earned, owned, and social channels.

You will serve as a strategic advisor to senior leadership and the founders, and play a critical role in ensuring communications is not a service function but a driver of business outcomes — pipeline, adoption, talent, and trust.

What You’ll Do

• Brand strategy & identity. Own Sarvam's brand end-to-end — positioning, narrative, voice, and visual identity — and keep it coherent across product, marketing, recruiting, and public moments as the company scales.

• Communications strategy. Define and drive the communications strategy across developer, enterprise, policy, and consumer audiences. Build the system, the cadence, and the team to execute it.

• Press & media engagement. Own the press narrative. Build and maintain strong relationships with top-tier business, technology, and trade press in India and globally, and proactively drive coverage that advances Sarvam's positioning.
