Why Telugu matters

95M+

people speak Telugu

Telugu is the official language of the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Its capital of Hyderabad is one of India's biggest technology and outsourcing hubs, and a fast-growing Telugu diaspora lives in the United States.

Reach Telugu speakers wherever they are

Supporting Telugu lets you serve customers across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and reach Telugu-speaking communities in the US, the Gulf, and Australia, without building separate products for each.

Telugu with a side of English (“Tenglish”)? Handled.

People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Telugu speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.

Use cases

What teams build with Telugu transcription

Whatever you're building, Telugu shouldn't be the thing that slows it down.

Meeting assistants

Tech teams in Hyderabad mix Telugu and English in the same meeting, so notes need to capture both without dropping half the discussion.

Meeting assistants →

Contact centers (CCaaS)

Hyderabad's outsourcing and support centers handle calls from across South India, and Telugu lines need QA coverage that manual review can't provide.

CCaaS →

Voice agents

Let Telugu speakers talk to your product the way they'd talk to a person, with no language menu and no awkward pauses.

Media & content

Telugu cinema is one of India's largest film industries, with big releases drawing diaspora audiences in the US who watch with subtitles.
