Spharaka Networks Joins NVIDIA Inception Program
Hyderabad, India
Spharaka Networks Private Limited has joined NVIDIA Inception, the programme that supports startups building on accelerated computing and artificial intelligence. The membership supports the company's continued development of AI-powered cybersecurity, and in particular the work behind SAGE™, its cybersecurity-specific language model.
Spharaka builds autonomous cyber defence. Rather than assisting an analyst, the platform reaches a conclusion and acts on it: it collects telemetry across endpoint, network, identity, cloud and operational technology, reasons about what it sees, and responds inside a policy the customer defines. That approach depends on models trained for security rather than adapted to it, which is where accelerated computing matters most to the roadmap.
What NVIDIA Inception supports at Spharaka
NVIDIA Inception gives members access to technology, training and go-to-market resources at the stage where those things are hardest to assemble independently. For Spharaka the relevant part is the model work: SAGE™ is a cybersecurity-specific small language model sized to run inside a customer's own data centre, and AuraXP™ coordinates more than forty specialised agents that investigate and act on one shared case.
Because SAGE™ runs locally, the platform behaves the same on a network with no outbound connectivity as it does in the cloud. That is why Spharaka Sphere™ is deployed in banking, government, defence and industrial estates where telemetry cannot leave the boundary, and it is the property the company intends to keep as models grow.
AI-native security operations, not an assistant
The distinction the company draws is between security tools that bolt a general-purpose model onto a legacy product and a platform engineered around a security-native one. Sphere™ consolidates seven AI-native capabilities, AI SIEM, AI SOAR, XDR, AI UEBA, EDR, threat intelligence and autonomous threat hunting, onto one data foundation rather than integrating them after the fact.
Spharaka Signal™ extends the same loop into OT and ICS networks passively, without transmitting onto a control system, and Spharaka EdgeProtect™ covers the endpoint.
Recent recognition and awards
The announcement follows a period of external recognition for the company, including Autonomous Cyber Defence Platform of the Year at the 13th CIO Conclave and Awards 2026, Best Cybersecurity Product for the BFSI industry, recognition by the National Centre of Excellence with DSCI and MeitY, and selection for the NASSCOM DeepTech Launchpad Program.
