The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has launched the Kalaa Setu – Real-Time Language Tech for Bharat Challenge, aimed at fostering innovation among India’s leading AI startups. Through the WaveX Startup Accelerator Platform, this nationwide initiative calls for the development of scalable, indigenous solutions capable of automatically generating audio, video, and graphic content from text inputs, with support for various Indian languages. The challenge emphasizes three key areas of AI-driven content generation: text-to-video, text-to-graphics, and text-to-audio conversion.
Startups interested in participating can register on the WAVEX portal at www.wavex.wavesbazaar.com under the Kalaa Setu challenge category until the end of this month. Additionally, applications for the Bhasha Setu real-time language translation challenge can be submitted until the 22nd of this month under a separate category.
WaveX serves as a dedicated accelerator platform established under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting’s WAVES initiative, which aims to nurture innovation across the media, entertainment, and language technology sectors.
