Customer Service Automation

India's digital public services needed to reach citizens across many languages and dialects, but traditional language tools lacked the scalability, real-time performance, and platform integration needed to reduce language barriers and support nationwide digital inclusion.

Solution

The Government of India worked with KPMG in India to build a broad multilingual AI platform for citizen-facing digital services. At the core of the implementation is a language AI platform powered by more than 300 AI models that support more than 220 languages. The platform combines translation, speech recognition, and chatbot integration so speech and text from citizens can be processed in native Indian languages and then delivered back through government service channels. KPMG's contribution extended beyond technical delivery into policy frameworks, NLP enablement, and expansion strategy, helping the initiative scale responsibly across services. The result was not a concept deck but an operational stack with more than 15 implemented services and more than 12 reference applications used to test, refine, and extend multilingual service delivery across the public sector.

Data flow

Citizen speech and text requests enter the language AI platform through government digital services, speech recognition converts audio input where needed, AI models perform multilingual processing and translation, and the outputs are returned through translated interfaces and chatbot-enabled service channels.
