Kannada is the official language of Karnataka, home to Bengaluru, often called the Silicon Valley of India. Beyond the tech capital, it's the everyday language of a large and increasingly connected state economy.
Supporting Kannada lets you serve customers across Karnataka, from Bengaluru to Mysuru and Hubballi, in the language they speak at home, instead of assuming everyone is comfortable in English or Hindi.
People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Kannada speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.
