Saswat Sahoo shared thisWe’ve all heard the Bill Gates quote: “A lazy person for a hard job, will always find an easy way.” That’s something I’ve seen in Abhishek He can wait 5 mins for the lift instead of walking 20 steps, but will spend 5 days optimizing for a sub-second gain 😂 Great to see the journey get some backing and glad to be a part of it 🙌Saswat Sahoo shared thisI'm really happy to share that dialflo has raised ₹1.7 crore in our first round of funding, led by ajvc, with participation from angels like Afsar Ahmad, Arpit Dave, Jani pasha. I was born and brought up in Arrah, Bihar. Grew up like any middle-class kid, did the usual: Kota for IIT prep, then KGP. It was in my final year 2016, that I first dreamt of starting my own company someday. The next six years were all about trying things, learning on the go, building courage one step at a time. In March 2023, I finally took the plunge and left my job at 6sense. After dozens of iterations, Dialflo happened around Aug 2024. The vision was simple: make AI work in the real world. We started with the ONEST project, building voice AI agents to help ITI students prepare resumes, then expanded to Smartstaff, Lokal, and more. Today, Dialflo is building the expert-vetted, AI-first contact centre for enterprises. CX leaders struggle to defend AI ROI in the boardroom. We are building a hybrid, human plus agentic engine to fix that. Our attribution engine tracks every action, AI or human, and ties it to ROI in real time. We're live with 10+ enterprises, including Tata Digital, Intugine, and Careernet, and targeting 20 more in the next 6 months. Big thanks to Aviral Bhatnagar for backing us so early and being a hands-on partner from Day 1. Aviral moves very fast. We got the term sheet within 7 days. To the Dialflo team, thank you for believing in this vision when it was just an idea and building it with me, one milestone at a time. Harshita Singh, thank you for being my constant support. You've been the real backbone. Thanks to advisors, family members, and friends like Abhishek Sultania, Asit Kumar Singh, Kripa Singh, and many more, who have helped me selflessly in this journey. Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost. ♥️ PS: If you know a CX leader struggling to prove AI ROI to their board, I'd love an intro.

Saswat Sahoo reposted thisSaswat Sahoo reposted thisYour voice agent might be 29 years late. 💡 In 1997, Indian Railways printed tickets in English. Boarding charts went out in the state language, and in Hindi. Real time translation to Indic language. In 1997. Yes. 1997. That was OG Vivekanand Pani's first project at C-DAC 🔥 Last week he walked 12 of us through everything he learned since. Reverie Language Technologies. Acquired by Jio. Now building at Coremantle. The part that stuck 👇 We keep treating translation to Indian language AI like it started few years back. People have been shipping it since before AI-wave started. 🚀 That was 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗲 by AIBoomi's Session 01, done. 11 tech leaders. One room. Session 02 coming soon. 🤝 PS: want in? Ping me.

Saswat Sahoo shared thisEnglish has long been the default language of the internet, so it dominates the data used to train LLMs. Indian languages often account for less than 1% of the training data. If you're building for India, you have to honour the languages of India. They carry trust and identity.Saswat Sahoo shared thisCouple of weeks back I asked a few founder friends a simple question: have you ever pitched your own product in your mother tongue? 7 out of 9 said no. We are launching #VoiceOfBharatFounders today, a campaign to celebrate every Indian language and every Indian founder. Chapter 1: Ananya Goswami, founder of Chop Finance, pitching in Assamese for the first time. Please watch the video and share it with other founders. We'd love to feature them too.

Saswat Sahoo shared thisOver the last week, at dialflo I’ve been playing around LLMs to improve latency. Improving inference speed with small language models is a no-brainer, but how do you actually prove it to customers? So, I started building a framework that can help us figure out which open-source SLMs work best for us. Because the answer can vary based on the use case, language, complexity, and a bunch of other factors. Here’s a small write-up walking you through the experiment.

Saswat Sahoo reposted thisSaswat Sahoo reposted this“There is no great joy than saving a soul.” “A life may depend on a gesture from you, a blood bag.” “To give blood you need neither extra strength nor extra food, and you will save a life.” “If you're a blood donor, you're a hero to someone, somewhere, who received your gracious gift of life.” 2016 – 2023 does it take this long time to launch Instablood? In a normal context, the simple answer is “NO”. It took its own ups and down in due course of time. Plenty of emotions, ample positive intent to contribute to society and an equal share of pushback from external forces. The idea began with Suraj Sahoo with 2 young brains Dinesh Patra and Saswat Sahoo in 2016. Then survival kicks in, and external discouragements and internal priorities took different directions. Instablood never fully ready for launch. But the intent was always in the back of the mind Then comes 2023, Ajit Pradhan and Thinh Nguyen Dinh gave their best, to hit the bull's eye. Instablood was ready for launch. We have been granted the incredible honour of launching Instablood - Connecting the world via blood,' an initiative that resonates with understanding and unity, under the admirable patronage of Honorable Consul General Madan mohan Sethi at "The Namaste Vietnam Festival.". Thank you Madan mohan Sethi This extraordinary event, organized by the Indian Consulate, has graced multiple Vietnamese cities with its presence from August 12th to 19th, 2023 and it stands as an outstanding platform that encourages a deep sense of togetherness between nations and develops positive feelings. Instablood is destined to be launched on the opening day, August 12th, in front of 2,000 esteemed attendees, including 500 Indian expats, 500 Vietnamese guests & international participants. A special appreciation goes out to the entire Invincix Team for their making this reality. We invite you to explore the app on Google Play Store and App Store. It's a platform that facilitates Simplified Connections and Lifesaving Actions. Its reach currently spans India, Vietnam, Singapore, and Bangladesh.

Saswat Sahoo shared thisNever thought InstaBlood would come this far. Kudos for embracing the dream and never letting go! 🚀🔥Saswat Sahoo shared thisJuly 2016, after seeing many blood requests from people around the country and with so many groups working around helping people find donors, we decided to digitize the process and have a map-based solution where in InstaBlood was born and with one month of rigorous development, we managed to launch on Sep 17th 2016. Saswat Sahoo Dinesh Patra being the pillars of action then. From then to now, ups and downs, and finding our own ways to redevelop InstaBlood for the entire world was the challenge. Finally, a team like Ajit Pradhan Thinh Nguyen Dinh Aditya Jena and the entire Invincix team came up with the final product after sleepless nights. My heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Madan mohan Sethi, respected consul general of India in Ho chi minh, Vietnam, to accept this application and giving us a platform to launch and give away this noble app to the world society. You have been benevolent and generous throughout. With the aim of connecting the world via blood, Instablood is now live on ios and Android Play Store for the world to witness and be a part of this army. The job is still not done and a lot to be done to achieve what we speak. InstaBlood needs all your support and love to reach every person and touch life. InstaBlood stands as everyone's application.

Saswat Sahoo reacted on thisSaswat Sahoo reacted on thisRemote work gives us flexibility, but nothing replaces the energy of being in the same room. We recently gathered the C2FO Product & Tech team (45 of us) at ITC Grand Bharat for our annual offsite. Having our US leaders, Anne Steinhaus and Aditya Devurkar, join us made the conversations even more meaningful. A few highlights that made it special: Fireside Chats & Strategy: Hearing direct perspectives on where we’re headed as a team. Knowledge Sharing: Honored to cohost a Claude workshop for the team—always rewarding to learn and build together. Team Spirit: From competitive sports hours to the Team Rally Challenge, it was a great reminder of how much fun we have together. Beyond the presentations and awards, what stuck with me most was simply reconnecting. Grateful for the energy, the conversations, and the amazing team at C2FO!

Saswat Sahoo liked thisSaswat Sahoo liked thisEvery time I tell people I’m an Agent Success Manager and I basically create prompts for AI agents, they get excited. And then comes the inevitable: “Wow, that must be so easy. You just tell Claude what to do and it’s done, right?” Initially, I used to explain. Now I just think… I have enough agents to maintain. Let’s not waste my bandwidth here. 😂 Because what people don’t see is that even if Claude helps you write the prompt, that’s just the starting point. Then comes the actual work. Where does the emotion go? Where should the question mark be? Where should the comma be? Yes, the comma actually matters. When should the agent pause? When should it speed up? What should it skip? What should it say differently depending on the conversation? How do you make sure it doesn’t interpret one tiny change in the prompt as a completely different instruction? And then, after all of that… The client comes in with: “Just one small change.” 🙂 I genuinely cannot emphasise enough how much bandwidth — and mental energy — goes into figuring out why an AI agent is saying the exact opposite of what you asked it to say. Everyone thinks the AI world is glamorous. And yes, it is exciting. But behind every AI agent that sounds smooth, understands the conversation, responds correctly and knows when to hand over to a human… There are people working 10–12 hours a day trying to make sure it simply says: “Hi, how can I help you?” …perfectly.

Arrowhead
Tomorrow in Bengaluru, our Founder & CEO Devyani Gupta joins the panel at the State of Voice AI Meetup, hosted by ElevenLabs × Activate. 🎙️ The conversation: what it actually takes to build and scale products with voice AI. At Arrowhead, we've spent the last few years putting voice agents into large-scale, real customer conversations, and recently launched our own in-house STT, TTS and SLM, built for how India really speaks: code-mixed, multilingual and fast. Expect a candid take on: → What's working in production today, and what still breaks → Why India's language reality needs its own stack → Where voice is heading next The evening also features live demos from the ElevenLabs team and a mixer with founders, engineers and investors. 📍 Bengaluru | 🗓️ September 30 Registration link in the comments. If you're building in voice, come say hi! #VoiceAI #ConversationalAI #Bengaluru #AIStartups

"Which LLM have you built your Human Behavioural Assessment model on?" This is the question that keeps coming our way — from investors, customers, and curious minds we meet along the way. It's fascinating how conditioned we've become to assume that every AI company in India is simply building on top of an LLM. But nothing beats the moment we get to set the record straight. The widening eyes. The sparkle of curiosity. The genuine surprise — when we explain that Anthrosense Ai, our Human Behavioural Model, was built from the ground up using proprietary multimodal data and expert labelling. It has been trained to think like Psychologists and Behavioural Experts, predicting the most critical skills people need to find and excel in new roles today. And what are those critical skills? Here's what we assess: ✦ Critical Thinking & Problem Solving ✦ Adaptability & Learning Agility ✦ Agency & Intent ✦ Communication, Articulation & Collaboration These are exactly what companies are desperate to identify during hiring — and unfortunately what's most lacking in the talent pool today. At Northstarz.Ai, we pair Anthrosense Ai with Google Gemini to run holistic assessments through simple, candidate-friendly AI interviews — evaluating both Behavioural and Technical skills with the precision of a full expert panel, helping companies find the right person, every time. Mahindra Logistics, Adi Chitragupta Finance Limited, ARaymond India, and Symbos are among our global customers who have experienced the difference firsthand. We hope to see more companies build proprietary models that stand tall on their own merit — and change how the world perceives Indian AI. If you'd like to learn how to get started, DM me or any of the Northstarz founders. We're happy to share our learnings. Leaving you with a snapshot from today's Magicball AI Event at Bengaluru International Center hosted by Grayscale Ventures and Elevation Capital— what an incredible community we're building!

I’ve been following the work of Bolna (YC F25) for a while, and it got me curious about what really goes on behind a voice agent. So I spent a week building a real-time voice agent for hotel enquiries and reservations — scrappy, but working. What it does: • Handles live phone calls • Transcribes speech in real time • Holds natural conversations • Checks availability and simulates bookings using LLM function calls Built with: Python + FastAPI, Deepgram, LLMs (NVIDIA NIM-hosted), and Twilio. Big takeaway: Real-time audio and interruption handling are much harder than they look. Function-calling LLMs, though, unlock surprisingly powerful workflows. Still lots to improve: • Reducing the lag between user speech and TTS streaming • Making the voice sound less robotic (I think TTS choice matters ) Huge respect to Maitreya Wagh and team for building such a scalable Voice AI platform Hands-on experience with this space gave me a much deeper appreciation for the work involved. Code:https://lnkd.in/gMTcVmN2 Would love to hear from others in this space. #voiceagents #AI

Agnikul’s new facilities in Chennai, building reusable rockets, gives you a glimpse on how deep-tech companies (can) build an advantage. In software, iteration is cheap. In deep tech, iteration is infrastructure. The facilities brings more of the build-test-learn loop inside the company. - It can now test complete rocket stages under flight-like conditions rather than testing every system separately. - A recovered stage can eventually come back into the same setup, be inspected, requalified and flown again. - It has also brought high-pressure vessel manufacturing in-house, reducing another dependency in the manufacturing process. - Its rocket engines are already manufactured as single-piece 3D prints inside its own rocket factory. On paper, these look like manufacturing decisions. I think they are really decisions about learning speed. Every time a deep-tech company depends on someone else to manufacture, test or qualify something critical, part of its learning loop sits outside the company as well. That may be fine when the ecosystem around you is deep enough. In India, it often isn’t. And this is where I think the conversation around deep tech needs to move beyond just talent and capital. We spend a lot of time asking whether India has enough deep-tech talent and enough capital. Increasingly, I think the missing piece is the infrastructure that lets both of them compound. Because the moat in deep tech is rarely just the first invention. It is what the company learns over the next hundred iterations.

If your engineering team is reporting sudden connectivity failures across Jio, Airtel, or ACT today, do not fire them. It is not a deployment error. **What is happening?** India has issued a blocking order disrupting access to major developer platforms like Supabase. This appears to be an ISP-level block mandated by MeitY. **The Likely Cause:** Over-broad censorship. The government likely intended to block specific non-compliant applications (e.g., illegal betting, predatory loan apps) hosted on these BaaS platforms. However, due to shared infrastructure, the ban has cascaded to affect legitimate businesses. **Immediate Action Required:** - Verify your endpoint accessibility from Indian mobile networks. - Implement client-side redundancy or proxy layers if possible. - Monitor the situation closely. I have compiled a status tracker and list of potential workarounds. 👉 **Comment "STATUS" to get the link.** #TechPolicy #IndiaBusiness #SaaS #CloudComputing #Supabase #StartupIndia

Can #AgriTech scale-out for systems transformation? Most Digital Public Infrastructure (#DPI) is built top-down with massive capital, like Aadhaar or UPI. But is it possible to build in reverse on a frugal basis? Consider HimSHIKHAR, India’s first publicly built knowledge base and FPC market linkage app for Agroecology. Deployed and Data Verified by Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture & Forestry, Nauni, Solan, it integrates the CETARA-NF protocol, allowing FPC managers to use QR lookups to verify and link produce to markets. Therefore it is more than just a Knowledge Base! Any farmer who wishes to know about Agroecology in India need only download and use this app. At present it is Data verified for Production systems in Himachal Pradesh, but it is easy to configure and deploy for any location or crop. HimSHIKHAR is a key module of the #SuSPNF (Sustainable Food Systems Platform for Natural Farming), a sovereign-scale program in Himachal Pradesh. These functional modules are layering into an eventual DPI - the SHIKHAR-Stack. The strategy is in developing these modules as Public Goods and combining them as brass-tacks layered bricks until the SHIKHAR-Stack emerges as a full DPI. ‘SHIKHAR’ or ‘SuSPNF based Himalayan Innovation for Knowledge Platforms, Hi-Technology, Agroecology and Robust Marketing Networks’ or ‘SHIKHAR-Stack’. Current digital modules in the SHIKHAR-Stack: * CETARA-NF Mobile: https://lnkd.in/dTW_gQAZ * CETARA-NF Web: https://spnfhp.in/ * PoC VARTA-IoT: https://lnkd.in/gkVtcwT5 * PoC VARTA-AI: https://lnkd.in/g4jQ8Xw5 * HimSHIKHAR App: https://lnkd.in/g3PrGwU6 Readers may recall a past post on early testing phase of HimSHIKHAR - https://lnkd.in/g4s3eArC You may also recall the Digitalisation layer clearly given in the SuSPNF Overview - https://lnkd.in/gmUKSs3F Innovative Methodologies such as MoolyaSHIKHAR "True Price Discovery" or "Pinnacle Pricing" are also tested in the rugged market ready for deployment - https://lnkd.in/gDMGJiMZ. This bottom-up strategy builds Digital Public Goods as bricks until a final DPI is visible. It requires eyes on the ground rather than just the "cloud." This frugal path democratizes and localizes technology, offering a solution to AgriTech beyond the realized paradigm. This way anyone may considering building a Bottom-up #DPI with grassroots realisations akin to the Buddha taking small steps to Nirvana!! What do you think? are we liberated yet? Clearly there is a long road ahead... #KnowFarmersKnowFood #NoFarmersNoFood #Vocal4LocalGlobal ACROPICS Project CoRE stack HimSHIKHAR has been built for Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture & Forestry, Nauni, Solan by the AgriTech Consortium ( JaivikHaat Pvt Ltd and Mantra Labs) - Ravi Misra HimSHIKHAR App - https://lnkd.in/g3PrGwU6

Most brands are considering to launch an app But few know if it’s 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. In our latest "Dilse Omni talks" podcast, I asked Abhijeet Singh ( cofounder Appbrew : Why do companies hesitate to build apps? “They aren’t skeptical - but dont know how to measure success.” And that’s where most go wrong. At top D2C brands with App benchmarks 👇 • Apps drive 50%+ of total D2C sales • Deliver 2-3x better conversion rates • Give 30-40% higher AOV • Achieve 2x higher retention • And boost LTV by 2-3x Yet many brands still don’t track these numbers. Because having an app is easy. But having a successful app needs measurement. Check out the full episode link in comments 👇 & learn how to make your app your biggest growth driver.
