In this episode we talk to the CEO of Bhashini, Mr Amitabh Nag on India's AI led platform driving digital inclusion with tech.

We discuss Bhashini's concentrated efforts on the 22 constitutional languages of India, offering services such as automatic speech recognition, machine translation, and text-to-speech. Get to know how Bhashini is instigating a major shift in digital inclusion, facilitating everyday transactions in native languages, and promoting efficient voice-based operations to bridge the digital and literacy gap.

We cover a lot of ground, including

• How Bhashini is transforming the language landscape of India and the world - bridging the digital divide and empowering citizens
• Current use cases and potential applications of Bhashini across sectors from education to healthcare
• How it leverages the power of crowdsourcing and collaboration through incentivizing users
• Future roadmap and how the citizens of the country and the world can look at leveraging it

Personally, I liked how through the conversation Mr Amitabh remained absolutely grounded - not touting AI as a panacea to solve it all but striking that fine balance between how AI can drive tech for good with continuous learning.
