Breaking the Language Barrier: India Today Goes Multilingual with CAMB.AI
MUMBAI: When it comes to making headlines, India Today is literally speaking everyone’s language. In a first-of-its-kind global move, CAMB.AI, the AI-powered multilingual communication pioneer, has teamed up with The India Today Group (ITG) to make live news accessible across languages and continents. The announcement comes ahead of IBC 2025, where CAMB.AI will showcase its technology at booth 5H49 from 12-15 September.
This collaboration is designed to co-create cutting-edge language solutions that extend ITG’s reach beyond English, into Hindi and other regional Indian languages, and even to non-resident Indians worldwide. In doing so, the partnership promises to deliver trusted journalism to over 750 million monthly readers, viewers, and digital consumers who engage with ITG’s vast portfolio from India Today magazine to Aaj Tak, Business Today, and Lallantop.
CAMB.AI, already a game-changer in live sports broadcasting with its speech-to-speech translation tech available in more than 150 languages, will now bring the same magic to the newsroom. The technology not only translates but preserves the authenticity, emotion, and accents of each speaker, ensuring that live news remains true to its source while crossing linguistic borders.
“Quality information shouldn’t be limited by language,” said India Today group managing editor for production Samkhya Edamaruku. “Our enhanced capabilities now add inclusivity to credibility. By leveraging AI to overcome language barriers, we are making trusted journalism accessible to a more diverse audience, helping to build a more informed and connected world.”
CAMB.AI co-founder and CTO Akshat Prakash added, “For 50 years, India Today has led with innovation and creativity. Being their first live news translation partner validates our growth plans in India and Southeast Asia. We are already exploring ways to expand ITG’s reach even further.”
This partnership comes at a pivotal time. India is fast emerging as one of the world’s largest digital economies, with a diverse audience hungry for content in their native languages. Multilingual reach is no longer just a global strategy, it’s a local imperative. Through CAMB.AI’s AI-powered solutions, ITG is set to engage audiences at an unprecedented scale, making news consumption not only accessible but also personalised and culturally resonant.
The India Today Group itself has been a trailblazer in media since its inception in 1975. Renowned for its credibility and bold storytelling, ITG has consistently championed independent journalism across television, print, digital, mobile, and audio platforms. It has also led innovations like integrated newsrooms, AI-powered news anchors, and digital-first initiatives, alongside hosting marquee events such as the India Today Conclave and Sahitya Aaj Tak.
With CAMB.AI’s real-time multilingual translation and India Today’s trusted content, this collaboration signals a new era where language is no longer a barrier, but a bridge bringing news to the world with speed, authenticity, and reach like never before. Attendees at IBC 2025 can experience this futuristic newsroom in action at booth 5H49, where CAMB.AI will demonstrate how AI is transforming not just sports, but news itself.

PM Modi keynotes two-day event with ministers, diplomats and icons in New Delhi.
MUMBAI: India didn’t just host a summit, it threw a coming-out party for a nation ready to own the global stage.

Jyotiraditya Scindia (Communications & North East Development) revealed India’s ambition to lead in 6G through the Bharat 6G Alliance and partnerships with over 30 countries.
Global voices added depth: former Singapore Foreign Minister George Yeo called India’s development “self-sustaining” and strategically vital; ex-UK Chief of Defence Staff General Sir Nick Carter asserted India deserves a seat at the great powers’ table; and former US Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez joined ambassadors from Norway, Germany and Sweden in discussions on geopolitical realignment, sustainability and defence preparedness.
Other speakers included veteran investor Ramesh Damani, World Gold Council CEO David Tait, Vianai Systems founder Dr Vishal Sikka, DeepTech Bharat Foundation co-founder Shashi Shekhar Vempati, defence experts Rajesh Kumar Singh, Sunil Ambekar, Patrick McGee, Tom Cooper and Adrian Fontanellaz, plus cultural and sporting icons Kangana Ranaut, Saina Nehwal, PR Sreejesh, Mohammed Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mithali Raj, Anil Kapoor and Yami Gautam.
