How many times have you called a company’s customer support and just…given up halfway? Long hold music, a bot that doesn’t get your accent, and somehow you still end up typing “agent” seventeen times. Yeah, that’s the exact problem Bolna AI decided to fix.<\/span><\/p>\n

Founded in 2024 by Maitreya Wagh and Prateek Sachan, Bolna is building what’s basically the missing piece of India’s AI voice puzzle, a platform that lets businesses build, deploy and run human-like voice AI agents that actually understand how Indians talk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not just English, not just proper accents but the real, messy, multilingual, code-switching India.<\/span><\/p>\n

And the timing checks out. India sees over a billion calls a day, with roughly 30% of them being business-related, including support, sales, collections, recruitment, you name it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s a massive chunk of everyday business still stuck on old-school IVR systems and overworked call centre teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

From a handful of calls a day to now processing hundreds of thousands, Bolna’s growth curve has been kind of unreal for a company that’s barely two years old.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this blog, we\u2019ll delve into the story of Bolna and its founders.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

About Bolna AI<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

In simple terms, Bolna is a Voice AI Orchestration platform built specifically for Indian enterprises. Instead of businesses having to stitch together speech-to-text, language models, and text-to-speech themselves, Bolna handles all of it in one place, so companies can build and launch voice AI agents fast, without needing an in-house AI team.<\/span><\/p>\n

One thing that sets it apart is that instead of relying on one single AI model for everything, Bolna routes each call to whichever model works best for that specific language, use case, and call condition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Which basically means a business can switch between, say, Hindi and Tamil calls within hours instead of waiting weeks for a custom build.<\/span><\/p>\n

The platform currently supports more than 10 Indian vernacular languages and is built to actually hold up in real-world telephony conditions, which include noisy backgrounds, patchy lines, thick regional accents, the works. That’s a big deal, because most voice AI tools sound great in a demo and then completely fall apart on an actual customer call.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bolna AI is Bengaluru-based, but it’s not playing small as it already serves clients across more than 10 countries, though India remains its core focus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Their customer list includes names like Varun Beverages, Spinny, and Snabbit, spanning industries like e-commerce, BFSI, logistics, recruitment, and education.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
