According to asurvey, current active e-commerce penetration in India is only 28 percent.
The main problem for Google to launch google duplex in India would be the 122 recognized spoken languages. As 70 percent of our Indian population consider their local languages for digital content rather than English. Google needs to customize Duplex in at least 22 official languages.
