Smallest AI and AI Grants India are democratizing voice tech
Smallest AI is providing free access to its advanced Voice AI infrastructure through a collaboration with AI Grants India, which will distribute access to developers, students, hacker houses, and early-stage founders supported by AI Grants India.
The goal? To make voice tech accessible to anyone with an idea—no big budget needed.
AI Grants India is already on a mission
AI Grants India, started by Bhasker Kode and Vaibhav Domkundwar, has already helped over 1,500 builders and 100+ startups get off the ground.
They partner with top colleges like IITs and BITS Pilani to give out tools for building chatbots, voice apps, and multilingual assistants—no paywall in sight.
The goal? More voice apps for everyone
Over the next year or so, this partnership plans to bring Voice AI access to more than 100 hackathons and campus events.
That means thousands of new voice-powered apps could pop up nationwide.
Sudarshan Kamath from Smallest AI says it's all about giving everyone a chance to build in a country where so many languages are spoken.
This push comes as India's AI scene heats up
India's going all-in on AI right now—with large private-sector pledges and high-profile initiatives making headlines.
This move helps broaden access by letting developers, students, hacker houses, and early-stage founders supported by AI Grants India experiment with cutting-edge voice tech—not just big companies or well-funded teams.
