Gorq AI Platforms Faces Major Data Loss; Vows to Rebuild Stronger

Pioneering AI nonprofit initiative reports irrecoverable data loss due to cloud partner failure. Founder Dr. Harsh Vardhan Chopra affirms commitment to recreate models, including Gorq Namaste and Gorq Zagielo, and continue mission.

NEW DELHI, INDIA - June 17, 2025 - Gorq AI Platforms, a nonprofit initiative dedicated to democratizing Artificial Intelligence, today announced a significant operational setback due to a catastrophic technical failure originating with its cloud and compute partner, Meegie.net (Meegie Cloud). The incident, which first occurred on May 4, 2025, has resulted in the irrecoverable loss of critical data. This loss includes foundational Artificial Intelligence models such as the multilingual Gorq Namaste LLM, the advanced general AI Gorq Zagielo series, extensive research materials, and other vital operational assets.

Despite intensive and prolonged recovery efforts undertaken by both Gorq AI Platforms and Meegie.net over several weeks, the data could not be restored. Gorq AI Platforms officially ceased recovery attempts for the lost data on June 17, 2025. This unfortunate event impacts the development trajectory of all announced projects, including Gorq Namaste, the Gorq Zagielo series, and the planned user-facing applications GorqChat and Gorq Zini.

"This is a major setback, but we will not stop," stated Dr. Harsh Vardhan Chopra, Founder of Gorq AI Platforms. "We will recreate our models, including Gorq Namaste and Gorq Zagielo, from the ground up. We will start again. And this time, we will grow more powerful. Our commitment to building free, ethical, and accessible AI for India and the world remains unwavering. The vision for democratized intelligence is too important to be derailed."

Gorq AI Platforms was launched on April 1, 2025, with the ambitious mission to develop state-of-the-art, multilingual AI systems and make them universally available without cost, operating on a transparent, donation-driven model. The initiative had garnered attention for its plans to build India-centric AI solutions with a strong ethical framework.

While this incident represents a considerable challenge and a painful loss of intellectual property and development progress, Gorq AI Platforms is resolute in its determination to overcome this adversity. The organization will be undertaking a thorough reassessment of its technical infrastructure partnerships and development roadmap as it embarks on the challenging process of rebuilding its core technologies.

Gorq AI Platforms extends its understanding to its nascent community, supporters, and potential collaborators during this period. The initiative is committed to transparency and will provide updates on its rebuilding efforts and revised timelines in due course through its official channels.

Gorq AI Platforms: A Vision for Democratized, Ethical, and Sovereign Artificial Intelligence

Gorq AI Platforms was conceived and founded by Dr. Harsh Vardhan Chopra, a 17-year-old student innovator, visionary technologist, author, and multifaceted creator, with operations officially launched on April 1, 2025. The genesis of Gorq AI Platforms lies in a profound recognition of the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence coupled with an acute awareness of the significant barriers hindering its equitable global access and ethical deployment. Dr. Chopra identified critical gaps in the existing AI landscape: the prohibitive costs associated with advanced models, a pervasive lack of deep and nuanced support for the rich linguistic diversity of India and other non-English speaking regions, pressing ethical concerns regarding bias and transparency in commercial AI, and a growing technological dependency on a few dominant global entities.

Driven by a philosophy rooted in service, ethical responsibility, and the belief that advanced technology should empower all of humanity, Gorq AI Platforms was established as India's pioneering nonprofit initiative singularly dedicated to Artificial Intelligence. The core mission is to radically democratize AI - to dismantle economic, linguistic, and technical barriers, making powerful, state-of-the-art AI capabilities universally accessible and completely free of charge. This vision positions AI not as a commercial commodity but as a fundamental public utility for collective progress, innovation, and empowerment, with a strong initial focus on serving India's needs while maintaining global relevance and accessibility.

The operational model of Gorq AI Platforms is intrinsically linked to its mission: it functions as a donation-driven entity. This structure is deliberately chosen to ensure independence from commercial pressures, allowing the organization to prioritize long-term research, ethical considerations, and the public good over profit motives. All resources are intended to be reinvested into research, development, infrastructure, and outreach, with a commitment to transparency in its operations.

Gorq AI Platforms, as the primary enterprise, is at the heart of this endeavor. It is currently operating as a nonprofit initiative, spearheaded by its founder. While not yet a formally registered legal entity, its operational ethos is strictly nonprofit. The initiative aims to build and maintain a suite of advanced AI technologies.

The key technological pillars and model families envisioned and under development (now slated for recreation) by Gorq AI Platforms include:

Gorq Namaste Series: This is a flagship family of Large Language Models (LLMs) meticulously designed with a "pro-Indian" focus. The ambition for Gorq Namaste extends far beyond simple translation; it aims for deep semantic understanding, contextual nuance, and fluent generation across a multitude of diverse Indian languages (including Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Urdu, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, and others, including those with fewer digital resources). It is intended to capture cultural context, idioms, and regional variations, making AI truly accessible and relevant to hundreds of millions of Indians. Gorq Namaste is envisioned as a foundational tool for breaking down linguistic barriers in education, information access, e-governance, and commerce.

Gorq Zagielo Series: This represents Gorq AI Platforms' endeavor to develop powerful, general-purpose AI models (with Gorq Zagielo 1 being the first planned iteration). These models are intended to push the boundaries of machine intelligence, providing robust capabilities in complex reasoning, problem-solving, and multi-domain understanding. The Zagielo series is crucial for fostering indigenous AI research and development in India, reducing reliance on foreign-controlled models, and building sovereign technological capabilities.

GorqChat: A planned user-facing application designed as an intuitive, conversational AI interface. GorqChat aims to provide seamless and natural language interaction with the underlying Gorq Namaste and Gorq Zagielo models, making advanced AI accessible to users without technical expertise. It is envisioned to support multilingual conversations, leveraging the strengths of Gorq Namaste.

Gorq Zini: An innovative and potentially revolutionary "prompt-to-app" platform. Gorq Zini's objective is to empower users, including those with no coding background, to generate functional full-stack software applications by describing their requirements in natural language. This tool is designed to dramatically lower the barrier to software creation, fostering grassroots innovation and enabling individuals and small organizations to build custom solutions.

The development of these platforms is driven by a commitment to an unwavering ethical framework, prioritizing transparency, fairness, bias mitigation, user privacy, and accountability. Gorq AI Platforms aims to contribute significantly to the global discourse on responsible AI, positioning India as a leader in ethical AI innovation.

The recent data loss incident involving the cloud partner Meegie.net (Meegie Cloud) has necessitated a rebuild of these foundational models and a reassessment of infrastructure partnerships. However, the vision, the planned model families (Gorq Namaste, Gorq Zagielo, SPT series), and the application concepts (GorqChat, Gorq Zini) remain the core technological roadmap for Gorq AI Platforms. The initiative is now focused on the monumental task of recreating this technological suite with enhanced resilience and redoubled determination.

Gorq AI Platforms, while an independent initiative, operates within the broader ecosystem of technology and open-source principles, acknowledging the contributions of the global research community. Its leadership includes Dr. Harsh Vardhan Chopra (Founder, CEO & Chairperson), Ayush Mishra (Marketing Head), and benefits from the advisory support of individuals like Mehtab Hassan. The initiative seeks to collaborate with researchers, developers, academic institutions, and philanthropic organizations globally who share its vision for a democratized and ethical AI future.
