75% of Indians Seek AI Growth Partner: Google Gemini Aims to Bridge Adoption Gap
April 25, 2025
While Gemini has reached 350 million users globally, it still trails behind competitors like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Meta AI, which boast higher monthly active user counts.
Google's Gemini aims to bridge this gap by empowering users and acting as a personal growth collaborator, addressing the needs identified in the study.
The Gemini model is being developed to understand over 100 Indian languages, with nine already supported, reflecting Google's commitment to inclusivity in a diverse linguistic landscape.
Despite this enthusiasm, many individuals face obstacles such as time constraints, creative blocks, and communication fears, which hinder their ability to fully engage with AI technologies.
A recent study by Google and Kantar reveals that 75% of Indians express a desire for a daily growth collaborator, highlighting a strong interest in Generative AI tools like Google Gemini.
These findings illustrate a significant gap between the aspiration to use AI and the current adoption levels in India, indicating a substantial potential for future growth in this sector.
The Gemini app is designed to enhance user experience by supporting multimodal interactions, allowing engagement through text, voice, and visual inputs.
Google's strict privacy measures have fostered user trust, as evidenced by the positive reception of its payment products.
AI capabilities are increasingly being embedded directly into devices, which enhances performance and reduces reliance on internet connectivity.
Overall, the study presents cautious optimism regarding the potential of Generative AI in India, with ongoing efforts to simplify access and enhance usability for users across various socioeconomic backgrounds.
To streamline functionality, Google is integrating various AI capabilities into the Gemini app, reducing confusion and improving accessibility for users.
Early adopters of Gemini report using the tool for a variety of tasks, including academic assistance, travel planning, and professional communications.
