Google For India 2024 10th Edition: Major Updates, Where To Watch, and What to Expect
Google for India 2024 is being held today, 3rd October 2024, marking its 10th edition. It is that event where Google shows off its innovations meant to back the digital transformation process initiated in India with a thrust on AI and its technological advancement.
Principal Updates
The theme is AI and the key announcements are expected in the areas of education, healthcare, agriculture, and support to small businesses. Google has taken the lead with AI-driven solutions for these sectors as its strategy for a robust digitally empowered India. An update on Google Pay is also anticipated on the expansion of the pre-approved credit line feature, which is a future-ambitious feature likely to be further updated for better service to underserved communities in India.
Google will also announce new AI tools and features of popular services including Android and Google Assistant. These would be focused, likely, on how it could make accessibility and functionality better for the Indian user. The company will also announce the local manufacturing of its new smartphone, Pixel 9, in India as part of the “Make in India” initiative.
Where to Watch
The event started at 11:30 AM IST, and it is being live-streamed on YouTube. Tech enthusiasts, businesses, and people can catch all the action and the latest updates at Google. You can tune in to Google India’s YouTube channel or their social media handles to watch live.
What to Expect
AI for India: Google has put big bets in pushing AI technology focusing particularly on the needs in India. You may see innovations from AI to go with local businesses, online services, and even specific sectors like health and education, among others. The Google Search Generative Experience, which optimized e-commerce access, may get further activations this year following its roll-out last year.
Financial Inclusion: Building from the Google Pay feature, the company will increasingly offer a much broader basket of financial products to reach out to those financially excluded. They may probably focus on ease of access to credit, savings facilities, and other integrated financial services.
Produced in India: Following the official announcement of domestic production of Pixel smartphones last year, Google will seek to further strengthen its pledge to manufacture its devices here. That itself would be an enormous banner headline – actually, a big relief – because of the roll-out of that model, Pixel 9.
Collaborations: This will include partnerships in education, agriculture, and healthcare sectors with local organizations, powered by AI to improve public services and to be accessible from one end of India to the other.
In Google for India, another milestone event is being marked as this is where you see what further impact the tech giant can continue to weave into making India’s digital future brighter, using AI and technology to empower millions of users in solving the local challenge.
