Tech Mahindra named to World Economic Forum MINDS cohort

Tech Mahindra was recognized among the World Economic Forum's MINDS 2nd Cohort for work on linguistic and digital equity, a designation tied to efforts to preserve local voices and expand access to knowledge.

The MINDS programme was launched by the World Economic Forum to move the global Artificial Intelligence (AI) conversation from promise to performance and spotlights high-impact AI applications that can be scaled responsibly across industries, governments, and societies.

As part of MINDS 2nd Cohort, Tech Mahindra advanced linguistic and digital equity through its Souvenir AI approach, which focused on preserving local voices, expanding access to knowledge, and enabling inclusive digital participation within the Edge Resource Allocator (ERA).

The company emphasized support for Hindi, Bahasa and regional dialects often overlooked by global systems, reported 92% conversational accuracy, and recorded millions of monthly interactions while honoring data residency and national priorities.

“At Tech Mahindra, we are transforming access to critical services by redefining multilingual AI. Our culturally grounded, sovereign models remove language as a barrier, meeting people where they are, in Hindi, Bahasa, and regional dialects often overlooked by global systems. With 92% conversational accuracy and millions of monthly interactions, we honor data residency and national priorities while making opportunity accessible to all.” said Mohit Joshi, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Tech Mahindra.

“The World Economic Forum's MINDS Programme spotlights AI solutions that are not only innovative, but also grounded in societal needs. Through MINDS, organizations are demonstrating how AI can deliver tangible value when designed with people at the centre. We're proud of the work being carried out by these organizations, leading by example.” said Maria Basso, Head AI Applications and Impact, Centre for AI Excellence, World Economic Forum. The centre aims to accelerate the secure, equitable, and collaborative application of AI for net-positive impact on people and the planet.
