From passive broadcasting to population-scale conversation - what 31 days proved
For decades, government outreach has meant IVR and SMS. Systems that push information to citizens without the capacity to receive anything back. Citizens hear. They cannot respond, verify, clarify, or signal that they need something different. The institution sends. It never knows if anything landed.
Listen At Scale
Hosted by the EkStep Foundation, with Sarvam as the technology partner and AI4Bharat as the knowledge partner, the ‘Listen At Scale’ programme tested a fundamentally different model. Conversational Voice AI agents spoke in local languages, asked structured questions, received real responses, and converted those responses into data that institutions could act on immediately.
Between January and February 2026, twenty organisations deployed Voice AI agents across healthcare, agriculture, governance, skilling, and civic engagement. Each organisation received a grant of 5 lakh Voice AI minutes to move from idea to live deployment.

Impact At Scale
Hosted by the EkStep Foundation, with Raya, VocalLabs, and Samora.ai stepping forward as partners from the community, this programme tested a unique economic model. Conversational Voice AI agents spoke in local languages, handled real citizen interactions, and delivered measurable outcomes — at a cost that, for the first time, made scale genuinely within reach.
For a period of 100 days, any organisation could deploy Voice AI agents across any use case with no cap on minutes, and access was priced under ₹1 per minute, end-to-end.
