We are building a Voice AI orchestration platform specifically for Indian enterprises that run large volumes of voice calls in sales, support, collections, and recruitment. Our product lets businesses build AI voice agents directly from their transcripts and FAQs to automate calls immediately. It handles Indian language accents and call workflows, routes calls intelligently across providers, and manages latency and interruptions at scale.

We are based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India and will continue to operate there after YC.
