Gnani.ai, a voice-first generative AI company, has secured Rs 68 crore (approximately $7.17 million) in its Series B funding round, led by Aavishkaar Capital. This marks the company’s first fundraise of 2026 and reflects growing investor confidence in its AI-driven enterprise solutions.
As part of the funding process, the company’s board approved the issuance of 1,647 compulsory convertible preference shares (CCPS) at a price of Rs 4,12,291.79 per share, according to regulatory filings.
Following this round, Gnani.ai’s valuation has surged significantly to Rs 818 crore (around $87 million), a substantial increase compared to its earlier valuation of Rs 204 crore, highlighting strong momentum in its growth trajectory.
The newly raised capital will be deployed to further scale its voice AI platform, enhance product capabilities, and broaden its enterprise presence across both domestic and international markets.
Founded in 2016 by Ganesh Gopalan and Ananth Nagaraj, the Bengaluru-based startup specializes in voice-first generative AI solutions designed to help enterprises automate customer interactions across multiple channels, including voice, chat, and messaging platforms.
Its offering includes a no-code, omnichannel AI suite equipped with features such as conversational automation, agent assistance, voice biometrics, and advanced analytics. These capabilities enable organizations to improve customer engagement while optimizing operational efficiency at scale.
Gnani.ai had previously raised Rs 30 crore (around $4 million) in its Series A funding round in July 2024, with participation from Info Edge Ventures.
The company has also demonstrated strong financial performance. In FY25, it reported revenue of Rs 53.87 crore, more than doubling from Rs 23.09 crore in FY24. It also achieved profitability, posting a net profit of Rs 3.19 crore compared to a loss of Rs 51 lakh in the previous fiscal year.
