Beyond text: Why voice is emerging as India's next frontier for AI interaction
Voice is fast becoming the defining layer of human-AI interaction in India, despite being the most challenging to train. Artificial intelligence (AI) startups are sharpening their focus on sculpting this intgeraction with design, authentic emotion, and intent. Yet, India presents a unique challenge: the sheer diversity of its accents, languages, and tonalities. Unlike text, which is relatively uniform, spoken language is richly-layered—with cultural nuances, colloquialisms and emotion. Startups building voice-first AI models are now doubling down on one thing above all else: the depth and diversity of datasets. Why voice is emerging as the frontline interface In India, where oral tradition plays a pivotal role in communication, voice isn't just a convenience—it's a necessity. 'We're not an English-first or even a text-first country. Even when we type in Hindi, we often use the English script instead of Devanagari. That's exactly why we need to build voice-first models—because oral tradition plays such a vital role in our culture," said Abhishek Upperwal, chief executive officer (CEO) of Soket AI Labs. Voice is also proving critical for customer service and accessibility. 'Voice plays a crucial role in bridging accessibility gaps, particularly for users with disabilities," said Mahesh Makhija, leader, technology consulting, at EY. 'Many customers even prefer voicing complaints over typing, simply because talking feels more direct and human. Moreover, voice is far more frictionless than navigating mobile apps or interfaces—especially for users who are digitally-illiterate, older, or not fluent in English," said Makhija, adding that 'communicating in vernacular languages opens access to the next half a billion consumers, which is a major focus for enterprises." Startups like are already deploying voice systems across banking and financial services to streamline customer support, assist with loan applications, and eliminate virtual queues. 'The best way to reach people—regardless of literacy levels or demographics—is through voice in the local language, so it's very important to capture the tonality of the conversations," said Ganesh Gopalan, CEO of The hunt for rich, real-world data As of mid-2025, India's AI landscape shows a clear tilt toward text-based AI, with over 90 Indian companies active in the space, compared to 57 in voice-based AI. Text-based platforms tend to focus on document processing, chat interfaces, and analytics. In contrast, voice-based companies are more concentrated in customer service, telephony, and regional language access, according to data from Tracxn. In terms of funding, voice-first AI startups have attracted larger funding rounds at later stages, while text AI startups show broader distribution, especially at earlier stages. For example, a voice-first AI firm, raised a total of $47.6 million across five funding rounds. Similarly, has cumulatively secured around $102 million, including a major $78.15M Series C round in 2021, making it one of the top-funded startups in voice AI, data from Tracxn shows. However, data remains the foundational challenge for voice models. Voice AI systems need massive, diverse datasets that not only cover different languages, but also regional accents, slangs and emotional tonality. Chaitanya C., co-founder and chief technological officer of Ozonetel Communications, put it simply: 'The datasets matter the most—speaking as an AI engineer, I can say it's not about anything else; it's all about the data." IndiaAI Mission has allocated ₹199.55 crore for datasets—just about 2% of the mission's total ₹10,300 crore budget —while 44% has gone to compute. 'Investments solely in compute are inherently transient—their value fades once consumed. On the other hand, investments in datasets build durable, reusable assets that continue to deliver value over time," said Chaitanya. He also emphasized the scarcity of rich, culturally-relevant data in regional languages like Telugu and Kannada. 'The amount of data easily available in English, when compared with Telugu and Kannada or Hindi, it's not even comparable," he said. 'Somewhere it's just not perfect, it wouldn't be as good as an English story, which is why I wouldn't want it to tell a Telugu story for my kid." 'Some movie comes out, nobody's going to write it in government documents, but people are going to talk about it, and that is lost," he added, pointing out that government datasets often lack cultural nuance and everyday language. Gopalan of agreed. 'The colloquial language is often very different from the written form. Language experts have a great career path ahead of them because they not only understand the language technically, but also know how to converse naturally and grasp colloquial nuances." Startups are now employing creative methods to fill these gaps. 'First, we collect data directly from the field using multiple methods—and we're careful with how we handle that data. Second, we use synthetic data in some cases. Third, we augment that synthetic data further. In addition, we also leverage a substantial amount of open-source data available from universities and other sources," Gopalan said. Synthetic data is artificially-generated data that mimics real-world data for use in training, testing, or validating models. Upperwal added that Soket AI uses a similar approach: 'We start by training smaller AI models with the limited real voice data we have. Once these smaller models are reasonably accurate, we use them to generate synthetic voice data—essentially creating new, artificial examples of speech." However, some intend to consciously stay away from synthetic data. Ankush Sabarwal, CEO and founder of CoRover AI, said the company relies exclusively on real data, deliberately avoiding synthetic data, 'If I am a consumer and I am interacting with an AI bot, the AI bot will become intelligent by the virtue of it interacting with a human like me." The ethical labyrinth of voice AI As companies begin to scale their data pipelines, the new Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act will shape how they collect and use voice data. 'The DPDP law emphasizes three key areas: it mandates clear, specific, and informed consent before collecting data. Second, it enforces purpose limitation—data can only be used for legitimate, stated purposes like KYC or employment, not unrelated model training. Third, it requires data localization, meaning critical personal data must reside on servers in India," said Makhija. He added, 'Companies have begun including consent notices at the start of customer calls, often mentioning AI training. However, the exact process of how this data flows into model training pipelines is still evolving and will become clearer as DPDP rules are fully implemented." Outsourcing voice data collection raises red flags, too. 'For a deep-tech company like ours, voice data is one of the most powerful forms of IP (intellectual property) we have, and outsourcing it could compromise its integrity and ownership. What if someone is using copyrighted material?" said Gopalan.

Over 3 Years, India jumps 93 spots in net speeds
India, the largest data consumer globally, ranks 26th in average internet connection speed and is narrowing the gap with other major markets, data from US-based speed test company Ookla showed. Ookla's data showed India had a median download speed of 136.53 Mbps in the April to June period, having moved up 93 spots from No. 119 in September 2022, driven by rapidly expanding 5G coverage. In comparison, the US ranked 13th and China 8th, with median download speeds of 176.75 Mbps and 207.98 Mbps, respectively. According to the Ericsson Mobility Report, the per capita data consumption in India is the world's highest at 32 GB per month. It is 29 GB in China and 22 GB in the US. 'India witnessed a landmark transformation in its digital connectivity with the commercial launch of 5G in October 2022, propelling one of the world's fastest nationwide 5G network expansions,' said Affandy Johan, industry analyst, Ookla. 'This launch had a dramatic influence on download speeds across the country.' According to EY, 5G towers already account for about 57% of the total telecom towers in India. It said the country's 5G subscriber base reached 326 million at the end of March, accounting for some 28% of the total wireless connections. At the end of December 2024, India's average monthly 5G data usage per user stood at 40 GB, almost 1.5 times the average mobile data consumption.

The Forgotten 99.9%: Rethinking India's Sporting Future
India needs a Plan B — a structured, economically viable, culturally respected path for the 99.9% who give their youth to sport. Because the system's true success is not defined by a few elite podiums, but by how it values everyone who dared to try. It's within this broken backdrop that Shaurya Sports, founded by Akhil Ganju, steps in as a visionary force reimagining India's sporting ecosystem. Where most models chase the top 0.1% and abandon the rest, Shaurya flips the question: What if we created a system where passion doesn't go to waste? Where dedication pays off—even when the medals don't come? While India has long bet its future on the top 0.1%, a quiet transformation is underway. Across 12 states, Shaurya Sports is conducting semi-professional trials—open-format scouting events designed to identify raw, skilled, passionate players who may not be in national camps or elite academies, but possess serious talent and commitment. Each trial is backed by structured metrics: video analysis, AI-led skill benchmarking, speed and biomechanics assessments, and detailed player profiling. Already, over 30,000+ players have participated in these trials since launch, creating a talent reservoir that reflects India's overlooked sporting middle class—not school kids or national stars, but the vast segment in-between: serious players looking for a serious pathway. This effort feeds directly into the rapidly expanding universe of corporate cricket, a space now far bigger than casual weekend sport. Today, over 20,000 companies across India organize internal or inter-corporate tournaments every year. Shaurya's own flagship property – the Shaurya Corporate Premium League – with matches played in stadiums equipped with DRS, live streaming, fan engagement, and celebrity commentary. Teams from top-tier companies like EY, Accenture, Maruti, Pine Labs, Hero, and Honda have competed, drawing in tens of thousands of employees and families as active viewers. If measured as a standalone economy, corporate cricket in India is now conservatively valued at ₹300–₹400 crore annually—through spending on venues, travel, branding, jerseys, hospitality, video production, coaching, and talent acquisition. And it's still largely untapped. Shaurya's vision is to fuse these two engines: Semi-professional players who bring talent, energy, and ambition, and corporates who bring visibility, funding, networks, and long-term infrastructure In this mutually beneficial ecosystem, companies no longer field teams just to 'have fun"—they can scout real talent from Shaurya's trials, sponsor teams, and elevate serious cricketers into semi-professional careers. On the flip side, players who once faced dead-ends at age 20 now find structured opportunities: performance-based entry into high-stakes tournaments, stipends, visibility to sponsors, and eventually, career stability—whether as athletes, coaches, analysts, or league professionals. This isn't just a new tournament model. It's a new sports economy. Just as the IPL unlocked value at the elite level, Shaurya Sports is unlocking the semi-pro and corporate grassroots – where 99.9% of India's players actually live. The difference? This time, there's tech for transparency, AI for progress, corporates for scale, and a model for dignity. Every player tracked, every match analysed, every opportunity earned – not handed.
