2022 was a year like no other. It was a year of great events. With the ‘Power of One’ (Exotel + Ameyo + CongoAI), the idea of a full-stack customer engagement platform became a reality. It has been a gratifying and inspiring experience to see the love we have got from our customers.

We bagged the PAN India ULVNO license from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and became India’s only business-focused virtual telecom operator.

2021 was a year like no other. It was a year of great events. We turned 10, raised $100 million in funding in 3 rounds, merged with Amyeo, and acquired Cogno AI.

 

Today we’re a full-stack customer engagement platform (CEP) and licensed virtual telecom operator.

 

We’re currently the biggest CEP in the emerging markets, built for enterprises to win customer trust & scale business growth.
