AI Voice Agent India: 22+ Languages, ₹2/min

With Dvaarik, voice is ₹2/min on whole-minute billing, chat is ₹2 per conversation, and the phone number is ₹2,000 per 30 days if we supply it. A business handling 300 calls a month at two minutes each uses 600 minutes = ₹1,200, plus ₹2,000 for the number = ₹3,200. Add the Care Plan at the founding rate of ₹5,000/month, required for the first three months, and that month lands near ₹8,200. The minimum first credit load is ₹10,000 and 18% GST applies on credit loads. Custom setup is ₹40,000, and it is free for our 10 founding clients in return for the Care Plan at the founding rate for the first three months and an honest testimonial and short case study after go-live. For context on 21 Jul 2026, Trikon published ₹5/min and MyOperator published ₹10,000/month including 2,000 minutes. Full arithmetic on the pricing page.

Yes, within limits that are easy to state. Our agents call only your own leads and enquiries — people who filled your ad form, messaged you or asked to be called back — never purchased or scraped lists. Calling hours are respected, and the agent identifies your business at the start of the call rather than pretending to be a person. Inbound answering has no such constraint at all. The commercial logic matches the legal one: speed-to-lead works because the person is still comparing vendors and expects your call, which is exactly why unsolicited dialling both performs badly and creates risk. The rules are covered in is AI calling legal in India.

Judge a shortlist on three things rather than the demo voice. First, does the vendor publish a rate you can act on — as of 21 Jul 2026, Sarvam AI and SquadStack publish no per-minute figure for their agent products, so you cannot price them without a sales conversation. Second, who owns the work after go-live: writing prompts, wiring the calendar, testing failure paths and reviewing calls weekly is real staff time on a self-serve platform, and time a salon or clinic rarely has. Third, place a live call and switch language mid-sentence before you decide. If nobody internal will own the tuning, buy a build, not a dashboard.

Yes — code-mixing is the normal case in Indian calls, not an edge case. Our agents work across the 22 scheduled Indian languages plus English, and handle Hinglish, Tenglish and Tanglish, so a caller can open in Telugu, drop an English price question mid-sentence and stay in one conversation with no "press 1 for Hindi" menu. The rate does not change across the Indian languages: Hindi, Tamil and Telugu all bill at ₹2/min, with no surcharge for switching between them mid-call. Published language counts vary widely across this market, so test the claim rather than the website — place a real call and switch language mid-sentence. More on multilingual handling.

For most Indian small businesses, the best AI voice agent is the one someone else builds, connects and tunes for you — not the one with the longest feature list. A salon, clinic or property office rarely has an engineer free to write prompts, wire the calendar, test failure paths and review call recordings every week, which is what a self-serve platform quietly assumes. Judge a shortlist by who owns that work after go-live. If the answer is "you", price in the staff hours; if the answer is the vendor, ask how fast they turn around a change request.

Running cost with Dvaarik is voice at ₹2/min (whole-minute billing), chat at ₹2 per conversation, and ₹2,000 per 30 days for the phone number if we supply it.

Add the Care Plan at the founding rate of ₹5,000/month for the first three months and that month lands near ₹8,200. Custom setup is ₹40,000 one-time and is currently free for our 10 founding clients — the full breakdown is on the pricing page.

Yes — code-mixing is the normal case in Indian calls, not an edge case. Our agents work across the 22 scheduled Indian languages plus Hinglish, Tenglish and Tanglish, so a caller can open in Hindi, drop an English price question mid-sentence and stay in one conversation without a "press 1 for Hindi" menu. When you evaluate any platform, test this specifically rather than taking the language list on the website at face value: place a live call, switch language mid-sentence, and listen to what the agent does next.

Days, not months — the constraint is usually how quickly you can supply your own inputs, not build time. What we need is your services and prices, the ten questions customers ask most, how you want bookings confirmed, and access to the number or lead source the agent should work with. The founder builds each agent personally, so changes after go-live are a WhatsApp message rather than a support ticket queue. See the sequence on how it works.

If your call volume is very low and you already answer nearly every call, an AI voice agent will not pay for itself. The economics come from calls you are currently losing — after-hours enquiries, calls during treatments or site visits, and ad leads that go cold before anyone rings back. If you take a handful of calls a week and miss almost none of them, the honest advice is to spend that budget on demand generation first and revisit voice AI when the phone is genuinely outrunning you. We would rather tell you that on WhatsApp than hand you a founding slot you do not need yet.

Many will, and the agent does not pretend otherwise — it identifies your business when it calls. What matters more to callers is whether they got a straight answer at 9 pm instead of a voicemail. Two things protect the experience: the agent is built on your actual services and prices, so its answers come from what you gave it rather than from generic filler, and when a question falls outside what it knows, it takes the caller's details and hands the conversation to you instead of guessing. Test that handover path yourself on any platform you shortlist — ask the agent something deliberately off-script and see whether it escalates cleanly or keeps talking.

Yes, and if you use your own number the ₹2,000 per 30-day recharge does not apply — that charge only exists when we supply the number. Keeping your existing number matters more than it sounds: it is the number on your Google listing, your ads and your signboard, and changing it quietly breaks years of accumulated calls. Ask any vendor whether they can work with your current number or will insist on issuing a new one. More on the phone setup.

It can call your own leads and enquiries — people who filled your ad form, messaged you or asked to be contacted — within roughly 60 seconds of the enquiry arriving. It will not dial purchased or scraped lists, and calling hours are respected. That line matters commercially as well as legally: speed-to-lead works because the person is still comparing vendors and expects your call, which is exactly why unsolicited dialling performs badly and creates risk.
