Enterprise-level AI protected within air-gapped systems by Genovation's Mentis innovation
In the ever-evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), Genovation Technological Solutions has made a significant stride with its innovative product, Mentis. Designed as a fully air-gapped, on-premise AI system, Mentis promises data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, and cost efficiency.
Mentis, developed by Anurita Das, Founder & CEO of Genovation, is approximately 15 times more cost-effective than commercial AI platforms like OpenAI or Claude. This affordability, coupled with its privacy-focused design, has made it an attractive choice for Fortune 500 companies and organizations across various sectors, including manufacturing, retail, healthcare, finance, aerospace and defence, and DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation).
What sets Mentis apart from traditional generative AI is its focus on small, task-specific models (SLMs) that can perform tasks autonomously. This approach not only ensures maximum control but also significantly reduces the risks of data leaks. Mentis runs directly on a company's own servers, giving full control over where it lives and how it operates.
The privacy-first nature of Mentis extends to its core, with no external API calls, cloud dependencies, or vendor lock-ins. This design ensures that the data remains within the confines of the organization, promoting data sovereignty.
Mentis goes a step further by incorporating an explainable AI module. Every decision made by the AI is transparent, citing sources and showing raw execution outputs. Moreover, every output from Mentis is backed by citation, and the AI itself ranks the relevance factors while providing them.
Anurita's vision for India's AI ecosystem over the next 3-5 years includes a focus on making systems that can protect people's data while remaining efficient and practical at scale. Her experiences at NASA's CORE Program and founding deep-tech ventures in Asia have shaped Genovation's approach to building AI infrastructure in India.
Anurita is actively involved in shaping the policy-tech dialogue through her role in CII's ICT subcommittee. She shares insights on practical AI use cases, responsible innovation, sustainability in tech, and aligning emerging technologies with enterprise and policy goals through platforms like CII's ICT East Subcommittee and NASSCOM Future Forge 2025.
In a world where data privacy and cost-effectiveness are paramount, Mentis stands as a testament to Genovation's commitment to creating AI solutions that prioritise both. With its agentic AI that corrects itself and reduces the cost of iterations by 15 times, Mentis is poised to revolutionise the AI landscape in India and beyond.
