Marathi × E-commerce — local fit
83M Marathi speakers concentrated in Maharashtra, Goa — a meaningful share of the e-commerce addressable base. Typical e-commerce operators handle 50K – 500K minutes/month for mid-market D2C; 1M+ for large marketplaces of voice traffic per month, which under TRAI DLT registration must comply with disclosure and recording requirements specific to Marathi-speaking customers. On ThinnestAI, the recommended Marathi stack starts with Sarvam Saaras (STT, production maturity).

The problem
Why e-commerce in Marathi is hard
01
Why e-commerce in Marathi is hard
SMS confirmation converts under 2% for COD. WhatsApp is better but blocked for unverified numbers. Manual tele-verification teams cost ₹30–50 per confirmed order once you factor in agent time, floor overhead and tier-2 city wage inflation. And none of it reaches the buyer in the language they actually speak — the biggest single driver of "Customer did not pick up" RTO events.
Marathi uses Devanagari like Hindi but has completely different phonology, grammar and vocabulary. Models trained primarily on Hindi produce awkward Marathi. Script overlap is a trap — it looks the same, it sounds nothing like it.
