01 — Overview

How does an AI receptionist work for an Indian business?

It plugs into your existing Indian phone setup over SIP — Knowlarity SuperReceptionist, Exotel, MyOperator, Servetel, Tata Tele Business, Ozonetel, RingCentral IN, or any Indian SIP/cloud-telephony provider. Your virtual numbers stay on your provider; Open answers in the caller's language (Hindi, English, or 8+ regional languages) automatically.

Indian businesses serving customers across multiple states have a unique problem: every inbound call could be in a different language. A Bengaluru-based business takes calls from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Maharashtra; a Delhi business takes calls in Hindi, Punjabi, and English in the same hour. Hiring a multilingual receptionist team across the country is expensive — and the alternative (a single English-only line) loses the customer at hello.

Open answers every inbound call in under two seconds. The AI auto-detects the caller's language from their first sentence and runs the rest of the conversation in that language. Hindi (Devanagari and romanised), English (Indian English), Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Kannada, Gujarati, Malayalam, and Punjabi are all production-ready. Code-mixing (Hinglish, Tanglish, Manglish) works the way Indian customers actually speak.

The integration is a SIP/API destination on whatever Indian provider you already use. We support Knowlarity SuperReceptionist, Exotel, MyOperator, Servetel, Tata Tele Business, Ozonetel CloudAgent, RingCentral IN, and standards-compliant SIP trunks. Virtual numbers, IVR replacement, click-to-call, missed-call flows — all supported. The AI takes over the conversation; the carrier still bills for minutes.

DPDP Act 2023 alignment is built in. Data residency in Indian AWS regions (Mumbai, Hyderabad) is available for clients with cross-border-transfer concerns; US/EU residency is the default. Recording and transcription consent prompts are configurable to match your privacy policy. PII redaction covers Aadhaar, PAN, mobile numbers, and bank account formats.

Setup is typically one to two days for Indian businesses — the cloud-telephony providers above all expose APIs that connect cleanly to Open. Once your virtual number is pointed at us, the AI is answering test calls within minutes.
