Multilingual Models Finally Get Serious About Indian Languages
Indic coverage is expanding — quality gaps remain between Hindi and long-tail languages.
Speech and text models that handle code-mixed Hindi-English have improved sharply. Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali are next on enterprise wishlists.
The bottleneck is high-quality labeled data and evaluation sets that reflect real customer support transcripts, not Wikipedia dumps.
Products that win will combine strong translation, voice, and domain glossaries — especially for government and rural banking use cases.
