Equal AI raises $30M to screen calls so Indians don’t have to
Indian startup Equal AI has raised $30 million in Series B funding to expand its AI-powered call screening assistant. The app helps users manage spam and identify the purpose of incoming calls by acting as an automated intermediary.
Why it matters
The growth of AI-driven communication tools reflects a broader trend in using technology to mitigate the rising volume of spam and unwanted digital interactions.
In India, consumers receive a lot of calls every day, ranging from spam and scams to delivery people and financial service companies trying to contact them. There are apps like Truecaller and the government s Calling Name Presentation (CNAP) system to identify who is calling, but knowing the name of the caller is often not enough. That is why Equal AI is creating an assistant that can receive calls on your behalf, gather information, and tell you why someone is calling.
