Not just an Indian, but also a "building-for-Indians" startup!

🎉 New Investment: Bolna (@bolna_dev)🎉 If you think conversational AI is all about chatbots, India reminds you that voice still moves massive amounts of real business - payments, collections, delivery confirmations, lead qualification. I’ve seen this pattern across markets: the

Can you talk to angry customers for 250,000 minutes straight? Neha can. Bolna's Voice AI agent solves customer queries for one of India’s largest vernacular OTT platforms → 150 sec avg talk time → 0 wait time → 0 missed calls → 0 anger issues Voice AI isn’t just automation

Scheduling follow-ups, re-calling leads, sending reminders no longer manual We’re launching Workflows and Campaigns → Workflows = call / WhatsApp / email sequences with retries and fallbacks → Campaigns = stitch multiple workflows into full multi-step journeys

Most people hang up when they hear an AI voice. But when they don’t - 90% of calls go right. People aren’t rejecting Voice AI. They’re rejecting the idea that AI could actually help. At Bolna (YC F25), we’re fixing that: → No cold calls → Warm, realistic voices → Fair pricing

10,000 users have signed up to build their own Voice AI agents on Bolna. When you say “Automate calls with Voice AI”, India doesn’t get scared - it gets curious. First 5K took 18 months. Next 5K took 3. To celebrate, our 10,000th user just got 10,000 free credits.

3 of our 10 largest customers are solopreneurs. And we couldn’t be prouder. In India, people say you can’t build B2B revenue by selling to solo operators. But that’s changing fast🇮🇳 → KYC onboarding for South Indian banks → Cart recovery for D2C brands → Tamil-language

Also a shoutout to @bolna_dev they have made the onboarding very easy for Indian customers, just make the agents and you are ready to go. Tried out elevenlabs also, but then you need to purchase the number and do all of the integrations yourself which is a hassle honestly.

Cart abandonment is rarely due to price. It's mostly lack of confidence. Offline: a human helps you decide. Online: that layer is missing. Bolna’s Voice AI fills the gap answering questions, building trust, and even sending discounts when needed.

Not every Voice AI needs weeks of setup. Some just need to make 200 calls, collect data, and free up 30 hours of your time. We went live in minutes. So can you.

Funny thing from our heatmaps : hardly anyone uses Bolna’s chat tab. It’s the easiest way to test your Voice AI agent - prompts, functions, workflows, all in one go. If you find a fatal flaw, please tell us before our founders lose more sleep 😅
