SEBI and BHASHINI explore investor information in Indian languages

The story in brief

An agreement signed in Mumbai on 3 November brings the securities regulator together with the government’s language-technology division. The ministry’s 4 November release says the work will explore multilingual AI for investor education and access to financial information, including for rural and underserved communities.¹ Ideas discussed at the accompanying workshop included translating websites, investor-awareness videos and documents, alongside voice assistance and multilingual forms. Participants also considered explaining financial terms through familiar regional expressions, so technical language is easier to understand.¹ These are possible uses under the collaboration; the release does not confirm that every feature is available.¹
