Ringg, which processes 20 million call attempts a month, will use the funding to expand into chat and WhatsApp.
Ringg, an India-based voice AI startup, has raised $10 million from Peak XV Partners as an extension of its Series A. The company processes 20 million call attempts each month and plans to use the funding to expand beyond voice calls into chat and WhatsApp.
Ringg originally launched as DesiVocal, a text-to-speech startup, but shifted to building voice AI agents after finding model training too costly. Its first customer was fintech Cred, and it has since signed Flipkart, Practo, Groww, and PolicyBazaar.
Ringg’s shift from simple outbound calls to complex workflows is a signal for builders. The startup now handles appointment booking, abandoned-cart recovery, and KYC checks, and it operates as an orchestration layer that routes tasks to different speech models.
Ringg wants to partner with Global Capability Centers in India to sell automation capacity alongside human support, rather than selling directly to U.S. companies. The company also aims to own the full voice stack eventually, including infrastructure and deployment.
