Why it matters: It’s estimated that almost 60 percent of the world’s population are internet users, though that still means hundreds of millions of people, especially in certain locations such as India, aren’t online. But a lack of internet access doesn't mean citizens in the country can’t use Google Assistant.

In an event at New Delhi today, Google announced a telephone line that people in India can dial to get answers from Google Assistant. Anyone in the country on Vodafone-Idea telecom networks can call the number (000-800-9191-000), which is operational 24/7 and free of charge.
TechCrunch reports that Manuel Bronstein, VP at Google, says the initiative is designed to reach the large number of people in India without access to smartphones or the internet.

“Starting today, you can talk to your Assistant in the nine Indian languages for example, for talking in Hindi -you can simply say ‘Hey Google, talk to me in Hindi’ to start using the Assistant in the language, without needing to dig around in settings.”
