Gnani.ai was founded in 2016 by Ganesh Gopalan and Ananth Nagaraj, after multiple years of experience of scaling tech businesses at Texas Instruments, IBM and Aricent. Commenting on the fundraise, the founders said, "We are thrilled to welcome Info Edge Ventures to our journey. Gnani.ai’s generative AI-powered voice automation platform has helped financial institutions collect over USD 2 billion from their end customers in the last six months. Our proprietary AI platform has helped us grow exponentially in the last few years and secure 100+ enterprise customers in India and the US. This investment will significantly bolster our efforts to expand our sales footprint."
Chinmaya Sharma, Partner at Info Edge Ventures added, "We are excited to invest in Gnani.ai. It is a company that exemplifies our investment thesis for AI.
