Sarvam AI API: ₹100 Credit on Sign-up (Indian Sovereign LLM Platform)

Every user gets ₹100 (about $1.2) in free credit on sign-up, universal across all APIs and never expiring, usable on Sarvam's own models and on hosted GLM 5.2, Gemma-4 and more

Official docs: "Sarvam offers ₹100 worth of free credits for every user on signup. Credits are universal and never expire." The official pricing page lists pay-as-you-go rates per 1M tokens (input / cached input / output): GLM 5.2 at ₹128.10 / ₹23.79 / ₹402.60, Gemma-4 31B at ₹36.60 / ₹13.73 / ₹91.50, Sarvam 105B at ₹29.28 / ₹10.98 / ₹73.20; speech-to-text is ₹30 per hour and text-to-speech ₹3 per 1000 characters.

⚠️The amount is small (₹100 is about $1.2), enough to try the platform but not for sustained use. The docs do not say whether an Indian phone number is required at sign-up, so rely on the sign-up flow. Once it runs out you must top up; without topping up you cannot keep calling the API.
