Sharad Sanghi, co-founder and CEO, Neysa

AI Cloud service startup Neysa, on September 9, announced the expansion of its Velocis cloud platform catalog to add OpenAI’s latest GPT-OSS models alongside leading families of AI models such as Llama, DeepSeek, Qwen, and Mistral. The platform lets customers pick and choose models depending on the use cases they are looking to build.

The startup also helps enterprises store their data locally and secure it through air-gapped solutions.

Models from all of these leading open-weight publishers are now available on Neysa’s Velocis Cloud as Managed Inference Endpoints, the Mumbai-headquartered startup said.

Sharad Sanghi, Co-founder and CEO of Neysa, said, “India cannot afford to build its AI future on platforms it does not control. The size of our digital economy, the sensitivity of our data, and the urgency of innovation demand indigenous infrastructure. By bringing world-class models like GPT-OSS into our Velocis ecosystem, we are proving that advanced AI can be hosted and scaled entirely within India.”

“For our developers, it creates a new frontier where their IP is protected and their creativity fuels India’s competitive advantage. Sovereignty in AI is the ability to define our digital destiny, and Neysa is building the control plane that makes it possible,” he added.

Karan Kirpalani, Chief Product Officer of Neysa, explained, “With Velocis, we have built a platform that ends the dependency on closed models that can only be billed on tokens, by giving users full transparency, predictable economics, and the freedom to build on their own terms.”

This AI catalog expansion lets developers get immediate access to models like GPT-OSS-120B, a Mixture-of-Experts architecture for state-of-the-art reasoning, and GPT-OSS-20B, optimized for high-performance deployments. It also includes specialized, fine-tuned versions such as GPTQ, AutoRound, and 4-bit models for custom workloads, too.

Founded in 2024, Neysa is the second venture of Sanghi, the former chairman of data centre major NTT India's global data centres and cloud infrastructure business. He co-founded Neysa with Anindya Das, who is the CTO, and BV Jagadeesh, the chairman. He also founded Netmagic Solutions, a data centre solutions provider, which was later acquired by NTT.

The startup has raised $50 million in funding to date, co-led by existing investors NTTVC, Z47 (formerly Matrix Partners India), and Nexus Venture Partners.
