Think41 Joins India's Open-Source Movement, Makes Voice AI Platform Publicly Available
Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 24: Think41, a Generative AI Services company providing voice-led experiences for global enterprise and top Silicon Valley startups, today announced the public release of its open-source Conversational AI (CAI) platform. Built for scale, speed, and realism, the platform is already powering high-stakes deployments and is now freely available to developers and enterprises worldwide.
While many voice AI systems struggle with real-world complexity, Think41's production-grade stack has been battle-tested in enterprise environments. From security and compliance to workflow integration and latency, it addresses the core challenges that typically block adoption at scale.
"We've solved these challenges for some of the world's most demanding organizations and now we're opening it up to the community," said Sripathi Krishnan, co-founder at Think41. "This release gives every enterprise and developer access to real-time, human-rich voice AI that works in production, not just in a demo."
Backed by strategic partnerships with Microsoft, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, and Smallest.ai, the platform delivers world-class transcription, expressive voice synthesis, and seamless infrastructure integration. Designed for enterprise workflows, it supports SIP calling, live escalation, CRM sync, voice-text multimodality, and advanced security frameworks, all deployable via cloud or on-prem.
The platform leverages an Agent SDK and orchestrator-led architecture, enabling modular, scalable AI systems built around specialized sub-agents, moving away from monolithic designs. Parallel guardrail agents provide real-time oversight, helping mitigate hallucination risks and ensuring transparent, controllable outcomes. With its microservices-based framework, the platform integrates smoothly into enterprise environments, offering robust data privacy and governance, critical for trusted AI adoption in large-scale deployments.
To showcase what's possible, Think41 has designed its own website as a fully voice-driven interface: the Experience Center. Visitors can explore the platform's capabilities through live conversations, powered by the same stack used in real enterprise deployments.
"The Experience Center is not a prototype, it's a working example of what real-time voice AI can do today," said Husain Topiwala, AI Solution Architect at Think41. "And it's just one way this technology can reshape how enterprises engage with their customers."
By going open source, Think41 invites the global developer and enterprise community to build on infrastructure that's not only powerful and flexible, but already trusted at scale. With robust documentation, enterprise-grade tooling, and a growing partner ecosystem, it offers a faster path from idea to impact.
Think41 is a Generative AI services and product development company based in Bengaluru, India, helping enterprises become AI-native. The company brings deep expertise in building enterprise-grade voice AI systems, from dynamic voice agents to intelligent copilots, alongside broader AI-first solutions. Its open, modular platforms enable trusted, human-centric interaction between people and technology, ready for production at scale.

India-US trade deal: Top five roadblocks that may arise after Trump's tariffs on India
India-US trade deal: Despite strong strategic ties, a comprehensive India-US trade deal remains elusive. The probability of getting it inked in the near term looks dicey after the imposition of Trump's tariffs on India. In retaliation, the Indian government is also considering levying a digital tax on US companies like Microsoft, Google, Meta, Amazon, etc. However, both countries, especially US President Donald Trump, remain committed to continuing talks for a possible India-US trade deal. According to experts, Trump's tariff on India is expected to hit Indian exports by $33 billion. The Indian government may compensate by imposing reciprocal taxes on US imports. They said the Indian government may think of reimposing digital tax on US companies after removing it from 1st April 2025. However, they maintained that after Trump's tariffs on India, the Narendra Modi government may go tough on the negotiations, especially on the US government's demand to provide Access to the Indian dairy and agriculture segment. They said that penalties on Russian crude oil imports, an unpredictable trade negotiation environment, mutual mistrust, etc., are some other roadblocks that may arise in the India-US trade deal after Trump's tariffs on India. Speaking on the roadblocks in the India-US trade deal, especially after Trump's tariffs on India, Utsav Verma, Head of Research — Institutional Equities at Choice Broking, said, "India-US trade negotiations are less about tariffs and more about reconciling fundamentally divergent policy philosophies. For any forward movement, establishing a permanent consultative mechanism, calibrated concessions in sensitive sectors, and depoliticized trade diplomacy are prerequisites." Verma said that future progress will likely depend on the outcome of upcoming leadership cycles, alignment on digital trade rules, and a reimagining of economic partnership beyond WTO-era thinking. "Biggest roadblock in the India-US trade deal post-imposition of Trump's tariffs on India is India's loss of around $33 billion in exports. To compensate for those losses, the Indian government may develop reciprocal taxes, which may become a roadblock in the India-US deal. The Indian government may go tough on the US demand for Access to the dairy and agriculture segment. At the same time, the US may not comply with the Indian demands on the Russian crude oil imports," said Avinash Gorakshkar, a SEBI-registered fundamental analyst. On the reciprocal taxes India may levy on the US, Avinash Gorakshkar said, "The way the US government has raised tariffs on Indian imports, the Indian government may also raise tariffs on US imports. They may also think of reimposing the digital tax on income from online digital advertisements from US companies. If they do so, it would be highly detrimental for US tech giants like Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, Google, Amazon, etc." Experts said the most-awaited deal may face some major roadblocks, including mutual mistrust, an unpredictable negotiation environment, US demand for Access to the dairy and agriculture segment, strategic autonomy against geopolitical alignment, and a penalty on Russian crude oil imports. 1] Mutual mistrust: "India-US trade tensions have been shaped by over 90 WTO disputes since 1995 (WTO, 2024). The 2019 end of GSP benefits affected $5.6 billion in Indian exports (USTR, 2020). In 2024, the US reported a $27.4 billion trade deficit with India (US Census Bureau), fueling calls for better Access. India, however, sees these demands as imbalanced. A 2023 Brookings survey found only 41% of Indian policymakers viewed US trade policy as mutually beneficial. Still, trust has grown in defence, pharma, and tech. During COVID-19, both nations collaborated, and US FDI in India reached $8.3 billion in FY23 (DPIIT)," said Utsav Verma of Choice Broking. 2] Russian crude oil imports: "Even though Trump's tariffs have left Indo-Russian crude oil business untouched, the uncertainty around the implementation of penalties due to the import of Russian crude persists. Already, Indian refineries have started to reduce imports, which can increase the cost of crude and impact currency and inflation," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments. 3] Unpredictable negotiation environment: "US policy shifts—from Obama to Biden—have made trade negotiations volatile. Tariffs on steel (25%) and aluminium (10%), renewed in 2025, worsened uncertainty. Talks during 2023–25 were delayed thrice due to political cycles. Unlike the EU or ASEAN, India and the US lack a formal negotiation council. Utsav Verma said the Trade Policy Uncertainty Index rose 32% for India-US trade post-2022, compared to 18% for EU-US (EPU Project, 2024). 4] Access to dairy, agriculture segment: "Agriculture supports 58% of India's rural workforce (NABARD, 2023). Opening dairy markets could expose smallholders to subsidized US imports. The US seeks entry for poultry, corn, ethanol, and hormone-treated dairy, raising safety and religious concerns. India's average agri-tariffs stand at 39.5%, with bound rates at 113.1%, against the US's 5.4% (WTO, 2024). A NITI Aayog-CRISIL study shows a 10% US dairy entry could cut Indian prices by 17%. India exported $4.3 billion in agri-products to the US in FY24 but imported only $860 million (APEDA, 2024). Still, partnerships in agritech and sustainable farming—like joint ethanol blending and improved standards —suggest opportunities, said Verma. 5] Geopolitical divergence: Pointing towards the strategic autonomy against the geopolitical alignment, Utsav Verma of Choice Broking, said, "India's $10 billion defence ties with Russia challenge US alignment goals (SIPRI, 2024). India resists being cast solely as a counterweight to China and maintains sovereignty—as seen in its completion of the S-400 deal despite CAATSA threats. Defence trade with the US reached $20 billion in 2024 (US DoD), yet digital cooperation lags due to India's focus on data sovereignty. With elections looming (India in 2029, US in 2028), nationalism may complicate compromise. Nonetheless, shared interests in Indo-Pacific security, climate tech, and resilient supply chains provide buffers that keep strategic engagement intact."

Microsoft Ends Windows 11 SE: Chromebook Rival to Be Retired by 2026
Microsoft has decided to pull the plug on Windows 11 SE, marking the end of its latest attempt to compete with Google's Chromebooks in classrooms. The lightweight operating system, which debuted five years ago, was aimed at the education sector with affordable laptops designed to keep schools from shifting to Chrome OS. 'Support for Windows 11 SE — including software updates, technical assistance, and security fixes — will end in October 2026,' Microsoft confirmed in an updated support article highlighted by 'While your device will continue to work, we recommend transitioning to a device that supports another edition of Windows 11 to ensure continued support and security.' Unlike the main Windows 11, Windows 11 SE will not receive the upcoming 25H2 update. Devices will remain on the 24H2 version until support officially ends. Over the years, brands like Acer, Asus, Dell, Dynabook, Fujitsu, HP, JK-IP, Lenovo, and Positivo have offered laptops running Windows 11 SE. Microsoft even rolled out its own budget-friendly Surface Laptop SE at just $249 back in 2021. This is not the first time Microsoft has tried to break Chrome OS's hold in schools. The earlier Windows 10 S Mode also limited installations to Microsoft Store apps — but with few apps available, it only left users frustrated. Windows 11 SE followed a similar restrictive model, pushing schools towards Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and tightly controlling which traditional win32 apps could run. Microsoft's decision reflects shifting trends in the education market. Just last year, Gartner noted that Chromebooks were 'losing market share due to their limited customer base and inferior build quality.' Chromebook shipments have dropped since 2022, and this year's PC upgrades appear focused on refreshing Windows 11 devices rather than switching to Chrome OS.

Microsoft in Brazilian antitrust regulator's crosshairs after Opera complaint
Brazil's antitrust enforcer CADE has opened an investigation into Microsoft, days after Norwegian browser Opera complained about Microsoft's Edge, according to a CADE statement published late Thursday on its website. Opera, in its complaint filed on Tuesday, alleged that Microsoft pre-installs Edge as the default browser across Windows devices and computers, thereby preventing rivals from competing on the merits of the products. Opera had 6.78% of the Brazilian desktop browser market in June versus Edge's 11.52% and market leader Google Chrome's 75%. CADE said it had opened an administrative inquiry and set an August 15 deadline for Microsoft to respond to Opera's allegations about its Windows operating system licences, the Microsoft 365 software and its Jumpstart programme. The Jumpstart programme allows Microsoft clients to build autonomous artificial intelligence agents for routine tasks, a move which could help the company monetise its billion-dollar investments in AI. Other Big Tech companies have similar tools. Microsoft did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comment. Opera has been complaining about its competitor since December 2007 when it took its grievance about the latter's internet Explorer browser bundled with its Windows operating system to the European Commission, resulting in a 561-million-euro ($640 million) fine for the U.S. tech giant.
