Overview
IndiaFilings used Vaani voice agents to welcome newly incorporated founders, introduce a ₹5,000 Startup Grant, and qualify them for a callback with a compliance expert.
For IndiaFilings, a new company registration is a narrow window. The founder has just incorporated, GST and ROC work are about to start, and the first conversation decides whether IndiaFilings is the team they call when that paperwork shows up.
Those founders are on the MCA portal the day the company is registered. Reaching them by hand means a telecalling team, a script, language switching, and a lot of calls that never get to the one thing that matters: a founder qualified for time with a compliance expert.
IndiaFilings did not need the first call to close a GST registration. It needed every new founder to hear the welcome, understand the ₹5,000 service credit, and leave the call as a qualified lead.
Why welcome calls break under volume
A founder who just incorporated is busy, skeptical, and often mid-commute. They will give a short call one chance. If the caller sounds scripted, pushes past a no, or tries to explain DSC, DIN, and ROC on the spot, the call dies.
Volume makes that worse. New registrations do not arrive in a neat queue. Coverage in Indian English and Hinglish has to be consistent, Tamil has to be handed to a person, and every call still has to end in a clear next step: a booked expert callback, a WhatsApp or email with the details, or a polite “not now” that is logged for later.
IndiaFilings needed that first touch to scale without hiring a caller for every new company.
How IndiaFilings built an AI-first welcome with Vaani
IndiaFilings deployed a Vaani voice agent to call founders and directors of newly incorporated businesses: Private Limited, OPC, LLP, Section-8, proprietorship, and MSMEs.
The agent confirms it is speaking with the founder, congratulates them, and asks if it is a good time. It introduces IndiaFilings as one place for GST registration, ROC compliance, trademark protection, and income-tax filings. It then offers the Startup Grant: ₹5,000 of service credit, free, usable on professional services such as GST registration.
It asks one qualifying question — whether GST is already done or still pending — and uses the answer only to make the next step specific. The ask is always the same: a short callback from a compliance expert who will look at what the company needs and show how to use the credit.
That included:
- Outbound calls to founders from public new-company registrations
- A fixed welcome in Indian English, with a natural switch to spoken Hindi when the founder switches
- A single hook, ₹5,000 in Startup Grant credit, used only to earn the callback
- One qualifying question on GST status before the ask
- Live branching: book a time, send details on WhatsApp or email, or log a later follow-up
- Redirect of technical questions (DSC, DIN, and the rest) to the expert, instead of answering them on the call
- A transfer line for Tamil, and a fixed close that ends the call
The point was to remove the gap between “your company just got registered” and “a compliance expert has a qualified founder to call.”

Why voice AI worked for new-founder outreach
The first call is a welcome with a deadline. The agent stays short, asks one thing at a time, and always hands the turn back. If the founder asks what the catch is, says they already have a CA, or says they do not need anything yet, it answers in a line and returns to a callback or a later follow-up. It does not re-pitch after a request for WhatsApp or email.
Skepticism is expected. The agent says it is an AI assistant when asked, and it says the number came from public MCA registration data. That keeps the call credible without turning it into a support conversation.
Across this run, IndiaFilings attempted 6,020 calls. 2,864 founders picked up, a 47.6% pickup rate. Of those conversations, 891 became qualified leads — about 31% of answered calls — at a 4-minute median call length. Operational cost ran 70% lower than the human telecalling motion this outreach replaced.
The result is a reliable front door: founders get a human-sounding welcome in the language they are speaking, and IndiaFilings gets a qualified lead instead of a raw dial.

Your new founders. Qualified the week they incorporate.
The IndiaFilings deployment shows what an AI-first welcome looks like when the next step is a human expert. 6,020 founders were called. 891 left the conversation as qualified leads. The median call lasted 4 minutes, and the outreach ran at 70% lower operational cost.
In the first months after incorporation, timing is the product. With Vaani, that first call keeps up with registrations.
