Are Indian Enterprises Paying Full Price for a Half-Built AI Product?
The multilingual AI your enterprise is running was trained on a corpus where Hindi accounts for a fraction of what English does.
It tokenizes Indian language queries at roughly twice the cost. It underperforms on benchmarks specifically designed for Indic languages. And the contract you signed almost certainly does not address India’s data protection requirements the way your legal team thinks it does.
This article helps with a structural reality of how global AI models are built and who they are built for.
Our latest analysis examines the language performance gap, the tokenization cost disadvantage, and the regulatory blind spots that most Indian enterprise AI deployments are carrying right now.
