Wispr Flow launches in India; offers Hinglish and Android app support

AI-powered voice-to-text startup Wispr Flow officially launched in India on Monday. As part of the launch, the company introduced full Hinglish (a hybrid language combining Hindi and English) support along with an Android app featuring a floating button for dictation.

Wispr Flow claims its Indian user base has tripled over the past three months, even before launch, largely through organic adoption, particularly within workplace tools such as Slack and coding environments. But the company has not shared any actual numbers to substantiate the claim and the growth was likely on a very small base.

“Today, @wisprflow is officially live in india! Before this launch… India became our second biggest market on its own. We 3x'd growth in 3 months with no campaigns or partnerships. People just found wispr flow organically and made it part of their daily life,” CEO Tanay Kothari wrote in a post on X.



Founded in 2021 by Stanford alumni Kothari and Sahaj Garg, Wispr Flow builds AI-led voice productivity tools that aim to replace traditional typing workflows. The company initially worked on brain-computer interface hardware before pivoting to voice-first software, aligning with broader momentum in the generative AI domain.

The startup has raised approximately $81 million to date and was valued at $700 million in late 2025.

The India launch marks a strategic push to localise the product, with Hinglish support aiming to enable some of the country’s key users to naturally communicate in professional and informal settings. The addition of Android compatibility also expands access in a mobile-first market.

The Monday launch was accompanied by an offline marketing campaign in Bengaluru, where the company deployed 100 branded auto-rickshaws across the city. The approach targets high-visibility physical spaces in a city known for heavy traffic, positioning it as an alternative to crowded digital advertising channels, claimed Kothari.

“We just discovered a hidden marketing opportunity that no one is paying attention to. It's live now in the streets of Bangalore. US tech companies are burning millions on digital ads to reach Bangalore. But the entire city is sitting in traffic, looking at the back of an auto rickshaw… And almost no one in tech is using it to their advantage,” Kothari wrote in a post on LinkedIn on Monday.
