Speaking Punjab properly, not just speaking Punjabi
Almost every voice-AI vendor in India claims 22 languages. What that usually means is 22 text-to-speech voices reading a script translated from English. It is not the same thing as an agent a voter in Punjab will stay on the phone with.
For Punjab the agent is tuned to Punjabi plus the variants people actually answer in — Malwai, Majhi, Doabi, Powadhi, Hindi — and it switches when the caller does. Dialect work is usually the difference between a call that completes and a call that ends in the first ten seconds.

Which language belongs to which part of Punjab
This map is what an agent is actually configured against. A campaign or department picks the register per district rather than running one voice across the state.
| Region | Language the agent uses | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Malwa (Ludhiana, Bathinda, Patiala, Sangrur) | Malwai | The largest of the three regions by seat count, and the centre of farm politics. |
| Majha (Amritsar, Gurdaspur, Tarn Taran) | Majhi | The register closest to literary Punjabi. |
| Doaba (Jalandhar, Kapurthala, Hoshiarpur) | Doabi | The highest-emigration belt in the state; households routinely answer from abroad. |
| Powadh (Rupnagar, Fatehgarh Sahib, Mohali) | Powadhi | Transitional belt towards Haryana, with Hindi contact. |

Hear an agent before you commit
Running agents, not recordings. A Punjabi agent is built per deployment against your own knowledge base — these are the ones kept live so you can judge the dialect handling and the interruption handling yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Which languages does the AI voice agent speak in Punjab?
Punjabi as the primary language, plus the regional variants that decide whether a call lands: Malwai, Majhi, Doabi, Powadhi, Hindi. A single agent can switch mid-call when the person on the other end does. "Supports 22 Indian languages" usually means 22 text-to-speech voices — the dialect work is separate, and it is what makes the difference between a 20% and a 50% completion rate.
Can it handle a full Punjab election campaign?
Yes. Punjab has 117 assembly constituencies and 13 Lok Sabha seats, and the agent scales from a single constituency to the whole state. Every deployment requires registration with the ECI or the state CEO as a political advertiser before calling begins, AI self-disclosure in the agent's opening line, DLT registration and DND scrubbing.
How quickly can a deployment go live in Punjab?
A single-constituency or single-department pilot is typically live in 14–21 days, including knowledge-base preparation, dialect work, telephony provisioning and a supervised pilot wave. State-wide rollouts run 30–60 days. The long pole is almost always telephony and advertiser registration rather than the AI itself.
Does AiSewak have a live demo we can call?
Yes. Several live demo agents are linked from this page — Hindi, Marathi, Rajasthani and Santhali — running on the same stack. A Punjabi agent is built per deployment against your own knowledge base rather than kept as a generic demo.

Every AiSewak agent identifies itself as an AI at the start of the call, never asks for an OTP or a payment, and honours DND. Election deployments require ECI / state CEO registration as a political advertiser.
