Vernacular AI gives India's entrepreneurs a voice

AI adoption among Indian MSMEs and the role of regional-language tools — reported by Nayanthara Rajeev

“It is not a lack of interest; it is a lack of relevance.”

The full quote, as printed: “More than 70 per cent of India's medium and small industries operate primarily in regional languages, yet most business software remains English-first. That is a significant mismatch between how Indian entrepreneurs communicate and the tools they are expected to use. This is a key reason why digital adoption has lagged among Indian industries. It is not a lack of interest; it is a lack of relevance.”

The feature looked at why AI adoption among India's small businesses has trailed the enthusiasm around it, and what regional-language tools change. We were asked for the practitioner's view. The reporter approached us; nothing here was pitched or paid for.
