From Cricket Scores to Smart Homes: What Indians Asked Alexa in 2025

In 2025, Alexa continued to cement its place in Indian households, evolving from a novelty gadget into a daily digital companion. From metro cities to tier-2 and tier-3 towns, Indians increasingly relied on voice commands for information, entertainment, shopping, and smart home control. This year’s Alexa queries reveal not just tech adoption, but also changing lifestyles, priorities, and cultural trends across the country.

Everyday Utilities Dominated Alexa Conversations

Routine questions formed the backbone of Alexa usage in India. Users frequently asked about weather updates, traffic conditions, alarms, reminders, and daily schedules. Queries like “Alexa, will it rain today?”, “Set an alarm for 6 AM”, and “What’s the traffic like on my route?” remained among the most common, highlighting Alexa’s role as a hands-free personal assistant for busy lives.

Entertainment and Music Took Centre Stage

Entertainment-related requests surged in 2025. Indians asked Alexa to play Bollywood hits, regional music, devotional songs, and trending playlists across languages such as Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Marathi, and Bengali. Movie trivia, celebrity news, and OTT recommendations also featured prominently, reflecting India’s diverse and content-hungry audience.

Cricket, Sports, and Live Updates Ruled Voice Searches

As expected, cricket dominated Alexa queries. Users regularly asked for live scores, match schedules, team stats, and player updates during major tournaments and bilateral series. Beyond cricket, interest in football leagues, kabaddi, and the Olympics also drove sports-related voice searches, especially during live events.

Smart Home Commands Became More Common

With smart devices becoming more affordable, Alexa saw a sharp rise in home automation commands. Indians increasingly used voice to control lights, fans, air conditioners, TVs, and security cameras. Phrases like “Alexa, turn off the lights” or “Set the AC to 24 degrees” became part of everyday vocabulary, indicating growing comfort with connected living.

Shopping, Deals, and Daily Purchases via Voice

Voice-based shopping queries gained traction in 2025. Users asked Alexa to track orders, reorder essentials, check prices, and find deals during major online sale events. This trend signaled increasing trust in voice commerce, especially for repeat purchases and household items.

Curiosity, Learning, and Kids’ Questions

Educational and curiosity-driven questions also stood out. Students and children frequently asked Alexa general knowledge questions, math problems, spelling help, and science facts. Parents increasingly used Alexa for kids’ stories, rhymes, and homework assistance, positioning the assistant as a learning aid at home.

Health, Wellness, and Daily Motivation

In 2025, Alexa was often asked about basic health tips, yoga routines, meditation sessions, and fitness reminders. Users also turned to Alexa for motivational quotes and daily affirmations, reflecting a growing focus on mental wellness and self-care.

Regional Languages and Hinglish on the Rise

One of the biggest trends this year was the rise of Hinglish and regional-language interactions. Indians felt more comfortable mixing English with local languages, making Alexa interactions more natural and conversational. This shift underscored the importance of voice assistants adapting to India’s linguistic diversity.
