The consumer GenAI revolution is not just a global phenomenon. As the world's second-largest adopter of various GenAI platforms, India stands at the forefront of this technological wave.

We believe India is poised to become a major player in the global GenAI consumer landscape. The combination of a large, young user base, increasing willingness to pay for digital services, and the emergence of innovative monetization models creates a fertile ground for startups here.

We provided a snapshot of the current state of consumer-facing GenAI applications globally across mobile and web platforms in a recent report.

Today, we are releasing its sequel - ‘GenAI in Consumer Applications: Our Thesis for India’. From content generation platforms to assisted shopping, we identified six exciting themes in the consumer GenAI applications space with immense potential for innovation.

Each of these areas presents unique opportunities for founders to create value by leveraging GenAI technologies tailored to Indian users' needs and preferences. We present our reasons for excitement, along with global examples and emerging Indian players for each.

If you're building in any of these exciting GenAI spaces or have innovative ideas for the Indian market, we'd love to hear from you.
