ElevenLabs has established its first India headquarters in Bengaluru to develop AI voices for 22 Indian languages.
- India GM Karthik Rajaraman says the company has worked with 250 enterprises in the region, with 100 million annual AI-agent conversations across 14 Indian languages.
- A fast-growing developer ecosystem and expanding library of Indian voices are driving adoption.
- The poster highlights a tension: some "sovereign model" stakeholders voice local-first rhetoric while having already invested in ElevenLabs.
