Powering the Bharat Revolution with AI: Join Saarthi.ai for Sphot 2.0

Real India lives in villages ~ Mahatma Gandhi?

Gated communities with high-rise buildings equipped with modern amenities like gyms and heated swimming pools.

Cheerful looking kids being driven to schools in sunroofed?SUVs and elegant sedans by aspirational parents.

Five workdays of hustle and that great unwind on the weekends!

We may be painting the picture with a broad brush, but?

This India growth story is imprinted in our collective imagination.?

However, as per the World Bank, the urban population comprised only 35% of India in 2021.?

i.e. nearly 7 out of 10 people lived in rural India or what some of us nostalgically call Bharat.?

In terms of access to amenities, there has been a clear demarcation between India and Bharat.?

And, the divide is palpable when it comes to access to technology, or the ease of living that availability of technology brings.

People in urban India had it relatively easy when it comes to availability or access to technology.

And, the latest 10-min grocery delivery and instant doctor video consultation are taking technology-enabled benefits to greater heights.

Bharat, on the other hand, has lagged.?

However, as we move forward to become an economic superpower,?

Bharat is awakening.?

‘Technology for Bharat’ is gaining momentum.?

The momentum is on account of several factors. It is also a result of the hard work of unsung heroes toiling silently behind the scenes to script the Bharat Revolution.?

They come from diverse backgrounds – government organisations, academicians, researchers, business leaders, start-ups, and ecosystem players such as NASSCOM.?

Collectively, they are building platforms that allow consumers in Bharat to access technologies and other benefits as seamlessly as their urban counterparts.??

They are up against various entities – companies who quit India after achieving certain profits or those fixated on developing technology just for the elite, urban consumer.?

However, as they say, nothing can stop an idea whose time has come.?

The Bharat Revolution is Underway.

At Saarthi (?????), we are committed to Powering the Bharat Revolution with AI.

Since our inception, we have kept inclusivity at the core of everything we do.?

That’s why our conversational AI solutions are built keeping in mind the current and Next Billion of Bharat. ?

Our voice AI agent MAIA (????) speaks 10+ local languages including Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Odia, Gujarati, Punjabi, Marathi, and Bangla, in addition to Hindi and English. Our team is working to add more languages to be as inclusive as possible.

Companies using our Voice AI agent MAIA have been able to communicate with their customers across Bharat in their mother tongue, removing the decades-old barriers created by language.

Sphot (?????) 2023

As we complete six successful years on February 1st, we want to celebrate the milestone in the august company of those who already are or wish to be a part of the Bharat Revolution. We will be hosting the 2nd edition of our yearly event Sphot in Mumbai.?

Sphot is an important concept in the Indian grammatical tradition of Vyakarana, relating to the problem of speech production, how the mind orders linguistic units into coherent discourse and meaning. You can read more about Sphot here. ?

The theme for this year's event is ‘Powering the Bharat Revolution with AI'. At this year's event, we are expecting a Sphot of interesting ideas and meaningful discussions that add to everyone’s knowledge and inspire us in the journey ahead.?

Sphot 1st Edition

The theme for last year's edition was ‘Defining Meaningful Innovation’. The full day virtual event brought together the best minds from the field of linguistics, AI, and BFSI. ?

The event was graced by distinguished speakers, academicians, as well as language and technology enthusiasts. In attendance were leading professors as well as?C-suite and leaders of prominent companies.?

Their insightful discussions and knowledge sharing ensured everyone had valuable takeaways from the event.?
