With India’s scale, languages and mobile-first users, Voice AI isn’t just a feature, it is the future. The builds we saw made that direction unmistakably clear. Shoutout to the 30+ shortlisted teams across three cities for the energy and intent you brought into the room!

As a local sponsor, Activate loved seeing teams show up after work and deliver live demos in under 3 hours - from autonomous procurement agents to immersive conversational storytelling and interactive city-scale experiences.

We believe the next chapter of human-AI interaction is being written by small, focused teams hacking on bold ideas. We’ll be experimenting with voice, agents & real-time AI to prototype entirely new experiences. Do consider being a part of it if you're a builder in AI

Introducing Activate. We believe AI in India will be built by technical crack teams. Activate is a new age venture capital fund purpose-built for such founders, engaging with them well before incorporation and investing $500k-$3M at inception.
