At Exotel, we build technologies that make communication more human. Every time someone orders food on Swiggy, manages money with Slice, or finds care through Redcliffe Labs or books a ride on Uber, chances are Exotel is powering that interaction in the background.

In 2011, our founders saw how hard it was for businesses to talk to their customers. Setting up phone lines, IVRs, and call centres meant hardware, engineers, and a lot of money. They imagined a simpler world, where any company could build customer conversations using just the cloud. That belief became Exotel.

From the first few calls routed through our servers in Bengaluru to thousands of startups and enterprises relying on us every day, our mission was clear: make business communication simple, reliable, and scalable. Not fancy. Not expensive. Just something that worked every single time.

The company builds the invisible backbone of communication for some of the most loved brands across India and beyond, enabling 25 billion+ conversations a year for 7,000+ businesses across voice, chat, bots, and contact centers -- all with 100% uptime.

Exotel Values Built with people at its core

#LikeAFriend

We treat our customers like we’d treat a friend with honesty, care, and a deep sense of responsibility. At Exotel, being customer-focused isn’t a function, it’s a mindset. We stay close to their problems, move fast to solve them, and go the extra mile to build long-term trust not just transactions.

#StayTrue

We do the right thing, even when no one is watching. Integrity at Exotel means being honest with ourselves, with each other, and with our customers. We speak the truth, own our actions, and make decisions rooted in fairness and transparency, always upholding the trust people place in us.

#It’sATeamSport

We win together or not at all. Every success at Exotel is a team sport built on cross-functional trust, shared goals, and seamless handshakes. We collaborate proactively, communicate openly, and work through disagreements with respect, knowing that execution speed and quality improve when we act as one team.

#OwnIt

We don’t wait for instructions we take initiative, follow through, and own outcomes end-to-end. At Exotel, ownership isn’t defined by role or hierarchy it’s about stepping up, delivering results, and holding ourselves accountable, especially when things don’t go as planned.

#PursuitOfExcellence

We don’t settle. We push boundaries, challenge the status quo, and constantly look for ways to improve our product, our processes, and ourselves. This hunger to do better not for perfection, but for impact is what keeps us ahead in a competitive world.

#BeTheChange

We embrace change as a constant and often, as a choice as the world around us is changing. At Exotel, we question what’s not working, experiment without fear, and speak up when it matters. Whether it's changing a process or shifting mindsets, we believe in creating the change we want to see.
