Amazon launches Alexa+ in India with Hindi support

Amazon is betting that premium voice AI can succeed in India by doing something it hasn't cracked elsewhere: making Alexa sound and think like a native speaker in Hindi, the country's most widely spoken language. The move signals a dramatic shift in how tech giants are approaching artificial intelligence in the developing world, abandoning the English-first playbook that has constrained adoption for years. With India's voice-first internet market exploding faster than anywhere on Earth, Amazon's Alexa+ could either crack open a billion-dollar market or expose the stubborn limits of AI trained primarily on Western data and speech patterns.
