Exotel's AI pivot drives ₹65-crore EBITDA turnaround
Exotel is a company that helps businesses talk to their customers.
They had some financial problems, but they fixed them by focusing on AI, which is like teaching computers to think.
They made special tools that help businesses use AI to talk to customers, like chatbots and smart assistants.
This made them more money and helped them become profitable again.
They are now growing fast, especially in India, and are also expanding to other countries.
Their CEO says that AI is a big trend that will last for a long time, and they are happy to be part of it.
Exotel achieved a ₹65-crore EBITDA turnaround in FY25, swinging from losses to a ₹34-crore profit.
The turnaround was driven by a focus on AI-embedded customer experience solutions and margin expansion.
Exotel's Agent Stream platform, which connects AI systems with human agents, is growing at nearly 100% year-on-year.
The company's suite of AI-driven products, including voice bots and agent assist tools, is expanding at about 200% year-on-year.
Exotel powers over 25 billion customer interactions annually and has expanded beyond India into markets such as the US and Saudi Arabia.
