Vaani AI Research, a deeptech startup building full-stack, production-grade voice agent infrastructure, has raised $400,000 in a pre-seed round led by Venture Catalysts. The round also saw participation from global operators and domain leaders including Dr. Abhishek Sharma (Meta SuperIntelligence, ex-Apple), Dr. Viveka Kulharia (MoonValley), Shashikant Chaudhary (ex-MD, GlobalLogic), Ejaz Ahmed (Meta Reality Labs), Nikhil Tripathi (Bijak), Uday Sodhi (ex-Sony Pictures India), KK Venkata (Oliver Wyman), Swapnil Sheth (IndigoEdge), Michele Barbazza (VAT Group, Switzerland), and others.

The firm claims to have already been selected for the Google for Startups AI Accelerator 2025 cohort and is part of NASSCOMโ€™s GenAI Foundry. It has also been ranked among the Top 10 AI Infrastructure Companies globally by F6S. Vaani is further developing a text-to-speech (TTS) model, designed to surpass current benchmarks in naturalness and emotional resonance.
