Where Agritech & Voice AI Are Headed | Episode 52
Today’s episode looks at two hard problems India is quietly solving at scale: post-harvest agriculture and voice AI infrastructure.
🗞️ News
Economic Survey 2025–26: • GDP growth 6.8–7.2%; potential ~7% • Capex up 89% (₹5.9 → ₹11.2 lakh crore) • Gig workers up 55% in 4 years • India now #3 global research powerhouse • All top 10 fastest-growing cities globally are in India
🎙️ Guest Segments
1/ Prasanna Rao & Anand Chandra — Co-founders, Arya.ag
How Arya built India’s only comprehensive post-harvest platform across warehousing, finance, and trading — while staying profitable. We unpack AI in agri-infra, why they chose to be a platform (not a buyer), how they prevent disintermediation, farmer usage patterns, scale metrics, and why most people misunderstand Indian farmers.
2/ Prateek Sachan — Founder, Bolna
Inside India’s voice AI infrastructure layer: why “voice” is now a commodity, what Bolna actually sells, full-duplex conversations, code-switching, fraud/liveness detection, and orchestration vs model-wrapper debates. Plus, the YC rejections, the Twilio analogy, and the 130× jump from 1,500 to 200,000 daily calls.
