Voice AI regulated India can own.
Born from IIT deep-tech research. Part of Google for Startups. Focused on insurance, banking and lending.
Conversations about money, cover and identity deserve AI that institutions own, understand and can audit.
From IIT labs to live calls.
FormantAI began as research: how do you make a machine understand Hindi, Hinglish and Tamil the way people actually speak on a bad phone line — and answer without inventing a number? The answer became a multi-stage engine that checks every turn before it speaks.
It became a company when a regulated lender asked us to run it inside their walls. Since then every deployment has followed the same rule: your recordings train your model, the regulator's lines never learn, and a human signs every release.
Lab. Ledger. Loop. Live.
Speech research at IIT
Code-mixed Indian speech over real telephony — the audio most models were never trained on. Founding team from IIT Delhi and IIT BHU.
The first regulated deployment
A lender needed an agent that could be audited, not demoed: every turn grounded in account data, disclosure lines frozen, PII masked.
The Weekly Learning Cycle
Graded calls became weekly, human-approved releases with regression before and rollback after. Agents that are better in month six than in week one.
Five countries, one engine
India, UAE, USA, Vietnam and South Africa. Part of Google for Startups. Trusted by IndusInd Bank and TeamLease.
Researchers who ship, engineers who listen.
The founding team are IIT Delhi and IIT BHU alumni. Our engineers sit inside customer teams; our researchers chase the failures real calls reveal.

Your model, no one else's.
Your recordings train your model and no one else's. Your IP, running where you choose.
Enforced on every turn.
Compliance enforced by the engine on every turn, not promised in a slide.
Code-mixed by default.
Hindi, Hinglish, Tamil, Marathi and code-mixed calls are the default.
