ShepHertz Technologies launched AgentAnywhere, a sovereign agentic AI platform, on 15 August 2026.
AgentAnywhere allows banks, insurers, hospitals, governments, and BPOs to run AI agents within their own infrastructure, cloud, and encryption keys.
The platform combines a model family trained in India with a governance layer that masks personal data, screens for prompt injection, and maintains an auditable record.
The governance layer has four components: Veil (masks personal data), Kavach (screens for prompt injection), Agent Universal Gateway (governs model and tool calls), and Custodian (maps to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and RBI controls).
AgentAnywhere is built around seven model families, all trained in India.
The model families are Taksha (AI engineering/coding), Manthan (general reasoning), Kuber (BFSI), Seva (service operations), Tatva (edge deployments), Astra (defence), and Sanjaya (critical telemetry).
Each model family is available in Fast, Pro, and Max tiers and runs inside the customer's VPC under the same governance layer.
Customers can also deploy open models like Mistral, Qwen, and Llama within the same governance framework.

ShepHertz has been in applied AI since 2010 and has processed over 108 billion API calls.
The platform is designed to address data sovereignty concerns for regulated sectors in India.
AgentAnywhere is compliant with RBI FREE-AI 26/26 guidelines.
The company rejected two candidate models that failed its execution-graded testing battery before release.

ShepHertz is an applied AI company focused on enterprise and government use cases.
It has 80,000+ customers worldwide and deployments across more than 150 countries.
Its platforms include AgentAnywhere, Workforce (wAnywhere, BrowseAnywhere, SafeAnywhere), and Engineering (AI-Infused SDLC).
AgentAnywhere is deployable air-gapped, on the customer's cloud, jurisdiction, and keys, and customer data never trains anyone's models.
The company is developing Manthan Vaani, an Indic-language model line.
Training infrastructure is supported by Shuddhi, a data processing system for cleaning datasets and generating build manifests.
