TL;DR: Enterprise voice AI runs on two layers: the AI model and the telecom infrastructure carrying the calls. A VNO (Virtual Network Operator) licence gives a platform direct DoT regulatory standing, not a reseller’s borrowed network. TCCCPR rules on DLT registration, consent, and calling windows apply to AI-generated calls the same way they apply to […]

Cloud Customer Service Software: How to Choose for Indian Teams

✨TL;DR Cloud customer service software runs your support stack on the vendor’s servers, not yours. No hardware, no IT maintenance load. Indian support teams need a different checklist than a global one. DPDPA compliance, local DID numbers, multilingual support, and INR pricing matter as much as features. The DPDP Act does not force you to […]
