This opens up new possibilities for cost effective Mobile marketing and meaningful Information enabling applications for rural India over the ubiquitous SMS. Mobile phone penetration in India is very high with about about 336 million active mobile phone users. And growing at over 10 million new users per month in the past months.
Panini also offers automatic transliteration between the languages of India in the manner that a person can write a message in Hindi and send it in Malayalam, Or receive a message in Tamil and read it in Gujarati. This would be helpful in a country of many languages. Indian language scripts typically use many characters not all of which are used equally frequently and the Abiguda scripts are full of ligatures which follow complex rules of usages.
Panini Keypad has its own mailbox which is superior to the mail box of the phone.
