Company profile
researched Sep 2026Vakya develops multilingual voice AI agents intended to automate customer engagement conversations for businesses. The agents handle support, sales and service interactions and are positioned as domain-specific, with vertical builds for financial services, health, commerce and hospitality covering use cases such as customer sourcing, onboarding, transacting, retention and reactivation. Illustrative material on the company site shows an agent conducting a retail bank loan-eligibility and KYC qualification call and then transferring the conversation to WhatsApp to collect identity documents.
The product is voice-first but omnichannel, operating over phone calls, SMS, WhatsApp and other messaging applications, and supports 8 or more languages with an emphasis on vernacular and mixed-language speech such as "Hinglish". Capabilities described include a library of task-oriented language-model agents fine-tuned per use case with configurable brand personas, API integrations with CRM and CDP systems, real-time reporting and analytics including predictive analytics for credit decisioning and delinquency, and conversion of voice interactions into structured data. The company states its language models are continuously fine-tuned to exceed 95% accuracy with humans in the loop for monitoring and escalation, and that its security posture is audited by enterprise customers and government regulators.

The company describes a home-grown telephony stack built for human-like response latency at million-call scale, with capacity cited at 10 million calls per day and a position among the top-10 enterprise VoIP consumers nationally. Other described components include opinionated NLU design with per-use-case fine-tuned agents, CRM/CDP API integrations, multilingual and code-mixed language support, human-in-the-loop monitoring and escalation, and analytics that convert voice interactions into structured data.
