Indian voice‑AI startup Navana.ai has secured ₹7 crore (\~$800,000) in a pre-Series A round. The fresh capital will be directed toward R&D and product deployment, strengthening Navana.ai’s capability to serve diverse urban and rural customers through voice interfaces. 

Founded in 2018 by brothers [Raoul Nanavati](https://www.linkedin.com/in/raoul-nanavati-39403b1a/?ref=theleftshift.com) and [Jai Nanavati](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jai-nanavati-4ab22064/?ref=theleftshift.com), Navana.ai offers a full-stack voice‑AI suite comprising a voicebot platform, speech‑recognition APIs, and contact‑center intelligence tools. 

With India’s rapid adoption of voice technologies, Navana.ai is positioning itself as a key enabler of voice-driven digital transformation across industries.

The startup serves over 40 enterprise clients, providing multilingual support across 12+ Indian languages, and powers voice bots for Bajaj Finserv in India’s BFSI sector.

> “This is India’s foundational voice AI infrastructure. Our proprietary speech AI \[...\] is fully designed, built, and deployed in India to understand the linguistic and cultural richness of Indian speech,” Raoul Nanavati, Co‑founder & CEO, said.

The funding round was led by Antler India, with noted investors including Ajay Agarwal, Ronnie Screwvala, and Sandeep Singhal, bringing its total funding to ₹13.2 crore.
