Tech Mahindra's inclusion in the MINDS 2nd Cohort underscores its leadership in deploying AI solutions that prioritize cultural relevance, linguistic diversity, and societal impact over purely technical advancement.
Advancing Sovereign and Inclusive AI Tech Mahindra is redefining multilingual AI to serve underserved populations by developing sovereign models that operate in regional languages and dialects often ignored by mainstream global systems. These solutions maintain high conversational accuracy while respecting data sovereignty and aligning with national priorities, ensuring that technology meets users in their native linguistic and cultural contexts.
Leadership Perspectives Mohit Joshi, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Tech Mahindra, said, "At Tech Mahindra, we are transforming access to critical services by redefining multilingual AI. Our culturally grounded, sovereign models remove language as a barrier, meeting people where they are, in Hindi, Bahasa, and regional dialects often overlooked by global systems. With 92% conversational accuracy and millions of monthly interactions, we honor data residency and national priorities while making opportunity accessible to all."
Maria Basso, Head AI Applications and Impact, Centre for AI Excellence, World Economic Forum, said, "The World Economic Forum's MINDS Programme spotlights AI solutions that are not only innovative, but also grounded in societal needs.
