Inside Chariot: Parth Sarthi in conversation with AIM
Parth joins AIM Network to discuss speech-native reasoning, the nuances of spoken language, and building foundational AI models from India.

In this episode of AIM Network’s Front Page, Chariot co-founder Parth Sarthi joins Sudhi Sachdev for a conversation about the future of speech-native AI. Watch the full interview above.
Reasoning in speech
The conversation explores why tone, emphasis, and context matter beyond the words themselves, and the research behind models that reason directly in audio rather than passing speech through a chain of transcription, text reasoning, and speech generation.
Building from India
Parth also discusses Indian languages and dialects, compute and model efficiency, and the possibilities for voice-first applications beyond call centres. The interview looks at both Chariot’s research direction and the challenges ahead.
