I suppose it is possible.
For that to happen, there might be a need to teach and encourage it. I don't know how nationalistic India is, and if it would be well recieved. There is apparently an ISO standard for Indic scripts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_15919
My own experience is limited to my sri lankan wife who enjoys texting with her friends. Among them, spelling is rather haphazard.
