A recent Eastern Mirror report projects that daily usage of multimodal artificial intelligence in India will double to 43% by 2030, positioning the country as a global leader.
A report published by Eastern Mirror forecasts that India will become a front‑runner in the adoption of multimodal artificial intelligence, with daily usage expected to rise to 43% by 2030. The projection indicates a doubling of current engagement levels, underscoring rapid growth in the sector.
The term "multimodal AI" refers to systems that can process and generate content across text, image, audio and video formats. Analysts cite India's large, digitally‑savvy population and expanding cloud infrastructure as key drivers behind this surge.
If the forecast materialises, businesses, education providers and public services are likely to integrate multimodal tools more extensively, potentially reshaping workflows and user experiences across the economy.
Stakeholders are expected to respond with increased investment in research, talent development and regulatory frameworks to ensure responsible deployment of the technology.
The report highlights that achieving the projected penetration will require coordinated efforts between government, industry and academia to address data, privacy and skill gaps.
