Hosted only on Indian GPUs: DPDP-compliant by architecture

India's sovereign
AI inference cloud

IndieRouter is an OpenAI-compatible API for chat, coding and agents on open-weight models, served from our own GPUs in India, never routed to offshore inference APIs. Pay as you go, or monthly plans from ₹499$5, with GST invoices.

Signing in with Google or GitHub shares only your name and email address, used solely to create and secure your IndieRouter account. Details in our Privacy Policy.

How requests flow

Your app to Indian GPUs. Nothing in between.

Every request terminates inside the country. Failover stays in-country, never region-to-abroad.

Quickstart

Migrate in one line

IndieRouter implements the OpenAI API surface. Your SDK, streaming and function calling carry over unchanged: only the base URL moves.

Not real-time? POST /v1/batchesruns the same surface as an async job at a discounted rate: upload a JSONL, poll or get a signed webhook. Same zero retention, same India-only compute.

Console

Not just an API. A place to build.

Every account gets a full chat workspace in the browser: try any model, give it your own tools, and let it write, run and preview real code, without leaving the page.

Chat with every model

Streaming replies, visible reasoning, and image input on vision models. Switch models mid-thread; your history stays in your browser.

Bring your own tools (MCP)

Attach MCP servers and the model calls your tools inline: your data, your APIs, your actions, wired into the conversation.

Workspaces that build apps

Ask for an app or a site and the model gets an isolated Linux workspace to write and run code, with a live preview link and a one-click project download.

Web search and browsing

The model can search the open web and read live pages when a question needs current facts, then cite what it used.

Models & pricing

Every model, direct. No route aliases.

The model parameter takes the model itself: you pick the exact open-weight model, we publish its card, guarantee the SLA and residency, and announce version changes 60 days ahead. Model origin is not hosting location: every model serves from Indian GPUs.

The economics of residency

Priced for sovereignty, not a race to the bottom

Offshore token discounters can undercut on sticker price, and cannot legally hold Indian regulated data. DeepSeek's own API bills its peak rates, about 2x off-peak, exactly during Indian working hours; our rate card is flat 24/7. What you buy here is residency, plus the costs that disappear when the invoice is Indian.

Data residency, guaranteed by design

Most providers sell residency as an addendum. We have no abroad.

IndieRouter cannot send your data abroad: there is no abroad in the architecture. Routing policy is part of the product.

01RESIDENCY

Every byte stays in India

Prompts, files, logs and tool outputs are processed and stored exclusively in Indian data centres: Indian storage, Indian backups, Indian support paths.

02RETENTION

Zero-retention inference

Request bodies are discarded once the response is served. We meter tokens, not content: nothing to leak, nothing to train on.

03ROUTING

No offshore routing, ever

We use the best open-weight models regardless of origin, but hosting is only ever India. No request touches a China-hosted or offshore inference API.

Built for regulated India

Built for India's regulated sectors

We are actively pursuing government, BFSI and healthcare deployments, the sectors that legally cannot export data. Designed to meet their bar; certifications named are targets we are working toward, not claims.

Government & PSU

Forms, circulars and multilingual citizen-service copilots under data-localisation mandates. Pursuing MeitY empanelment and a GeM listing so departments can procure through existing rails, with air-gapped single-tenant options.

Data localisationIndiaAI-alignedGeM (intended)

Banking & insurance

Policy search, audit Q&A and call-transcript summarisation inside the RBI storage-in-India expectation and IRDAI/SEBI norms. Zero retention means customer text, statements and claims are never stored or trainable.

RBI data-localisationSigned DPAAudit logs

Healthcare & life sciences

Aligned to ABDM / ABHA data handling and DPDP sensitive-personal-data processing on Indian soil. De-identification-friendly, zero-retention pipelines for clinical documentation, coding and triage.
