Navana launches Bodhi TTS at ₹12 per 10,000 chars

Navana.ai opened public access to Bodhi TTS in 10 Indian languages with 50+ voices at a list price of ₹12 per 10,000 characters, or roughly ₹0.72 per minute. Its launch announcement says the model is about five times smaller than its nearest comparable architecture and can run inside a bank’s own data center; Navana’s API platform documents the broader 50+ voice stack and 12+ live Indian languages. Voice-agent builders serving regulated Indian customers should compare quality, latency, and on-premise support against per-character price before switching from a general provider; the archive’s sovereign-AI cost analysis makes the same control-versus-cost distinction.
