View show details

Episode 51 of Edtech Conversations examines the shift from English-first to vernacular voice-first learning in India. Lucas and Luna explore how startups like Vedantu and Physics Wallah are integrating speech recognition in Hindi, Tamil, and Bengali to reach 600 million non-English-speaking students. They discuss the technical challenges of building ASR for low-resource languages, the economics of INR 99 subscriptions versus $200 US products, and why this model is now being watched by African and Southeast Asian edtech players. A specific number: 82 percent of Indian students prefer learning in their mother tongue according to a 2025 National Education Policy survey. The episode also touches on the role of open-source AI models and government-backed language datasets in accelerating this trend. #Edtech #India #VernacularLearning #VoiceFirst #SpeechRecognition #PhysicsWallah #Vedantu #Hindi #ASR #InclusiveEducation #Business #Technology #EmergingMarkets #NationalEducationPolicy #AI #Startups #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
