Plaud enters India with AI-powered Note Pro and NotePin S recording devices, priced from Rs 19,990
Plaud, the company behind a line of AI-powered recording devices built for professionals, has launched in India with two products, the Plaud Note Pro and the Plaud NotePin S. The idea behind these products are simple, instead of choosing between actually participating in a meeting and trying to take notes during it, these devices capture the conversation, then use AI to turn it into transcripts, summaries, and action items afterward. Plaud says it already has over 2.5 million users across 170-plus countries, and India is its latest market.

Price and availability
The Plaud Note Pro is priced at Rs 20,990, while the Plaud NotePin S costs Rs 19,990. Both are available in India through Amazon, Blinkit, and Plaud’s own website.
What are the Note Pro and NotePin S
The Note Pro is Plaud’s flagship device, credit card-sized and built with four microphones and noise-filtering meant to keep capture clear even in real-world settings like a busy office or a coffee shop. It also has a visible capture status indicator, so people around you can tell when it’s recording. The device picked up both an iF Design Award and a Red Dot Design Award in 2026.

The NotePin S is the more wearable of the two, designed to be worn as a necklace, clip, wristband, or pin, and built for people who move around a lot during their workday. Think site visits, interviews, or back-to-back meetings in different rooms. It starts recording with a single press, prioritising quick, low-friction capture over the Note Pro’s more deliberate desk-and-meeting-room use case.
Plaud Intelligence and language support
Both devices run on Plaud Intelligence, the company’s AI engine that turns raw recordings into transcripts, structured summaries, key insights, and follow-up actions. Given how much of a professional conversation in India moves between English, Hindi, and regional languages, sometimes within the same sentence, Plaud says its AI supports over 112 languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Punjabi, Telugu, Bengali, Kannada, Assamese, Gujarati, and Malayalam.
The pitch here ties back to a genuine pain point. Plaud cited a Jabra report showing Indian employees spent an average of 8.8 hours a week in meetings in 2026, with 66 percent saying they walked away without clear action items. Plaud’s Megumi Yoshinaga, Head of APAC Marketing, said the goal is to help professionals “stay present in the moment” rather than split their attention between listening and documenting.
Privacy and data control
Regarding privacy, Plaud says captured content remains under the user’s control, allowing the user to review, edit, search, share, export, or delete recordings at any time. Data is encrypted, and the company says it does not use customer content to train its AI models without explicit consent.
The AI recording device category is still fairly new territory in India, and Plaud’s pitch leans heavily on a problem most working professionals will recognise: meetings that produce a lot of talk and very few clear takeaways. Whether that’s worth over Rs 20,000 for a dedicated device, when a phone’s own voice recorder and a general-purpose AI assistant can do a rough version of the same job, is the real question for prospective buyers. The stronger case is likely the Note Pro and NotePin S’s purpose-built hardware, multi-mic capture, wearable form factors, and Plaud’s language support tuned specifically for how conversations actually happen in India, rather than treating this as a bolt-on feature.
I will be reviewing the Plaud Note Pro to gain a deeper understanding of how well the AI recording device works in the Indian market. Stay tuned to learn more about Plaud’s newest products.
