64 million SMBs, 22 official languages, a mobile-first generation that doesn't type. Voice-AI-native sales tooling isn't a feature, it's the default interface. We're building the rails.
Open-weight models (Whisper-v3, Piper, Sarvam-1) finally produce Hindi that feels human. Latency is sub-300ms on commodity GPUs. The technical floor is past good-enough, for English, and now for Indic.
Indian SMBs run on WhatsApp, not email. Any tool that ignores that is fighting gravity. We start there and back into voice + CRM, instead of the reverse.
Self-host is a wedge, not a charity. It collapses procurement cycles, builds developer trust, and turns every install into a distribution node. Operated revenue rides on top.
Pre-Series A seed round. This round accelerates distribution, not survival.
2 BD hires for South India + Bengal wedge. Channel partnerships with CAs, regional DSAs, and SMB aggregators (Udaan, Meesho, Shiprocket seller bases).
Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Bengali TTS fine-tuning. Emotion/prosody tags. Mulberry integration readiness. Sub-200ms latency on Hetzner ARM.
Mumbai AWS region failover. SLA-grade managed hosting for Growth plan customers. Compliance (DPDP, ISO 27001 prep).
