Top Tech Startups in Karnataka, India in 2027

The AI Travel Company: Building the next generation of trip booking and planning After returning from a solo trip through Europe, Founder Connor Wilson had the realization that life was more rewarding in person. He had enough of “social” media truly meant to manufacture FOMO to keep people online and sell them ads. Frustrated by the lack of tech designed to bring people together to discover and share memorable moments in the real world, Connor teamed up with co-founders Yu-Wei and Avinash to realize the belief that technology should enable real-life experiences, not impersonate them. ‍ Since launching in 2022, that ambition has centered on travel, building the platform for global travel experiences. Built for today’s tech, the heart of it all has always been this: helping people live happier lives through shared experiences. It’s why we design tools that make it easy to discover, plan, book, and share trips. The most meaningful moments don’t happen in apps; they happen with the people you share them with in the real world. Everything you need to make trips happen: We know OTAs like Expedia have made planning trips a mostly chaotic experience, but it doesn’t have to be. Our product ethos of building a hub for you and your group’s travel experience is rooted in three principles: collaboration, centralization, and simplicity. Built for large groups and solo dreamers alike, Pilot combines beautiful design with powerful functionality, helping you book, plan, and share trips in one seamless space. Whether it’s your first backpacking trip or your fiftieth team offsite, from daydreaming to departure, Pilot supports you (and 50,000+ others) every step (and stopover) of the way.

Companies today are increasingly providing Support - both internally and externally - on Slack and Teams. The ad-hoc use of triage channels and customer Slack rooms creates problems of missed responses, lack of service metrics and anxiety for all the responders who individually keep scanning Slack rooms. ClearFeed converts Slack channels into a single queue of requests, uses AI to flag requests that need a response, allows responders to update status of requests and assign ownership and make sure all requests are closed out. Integrations with tools like Zendesk, Jira, Freshdesk, Salesforce et al allow agents to convert or link Slack requests to other enterprise tools and close the loop back on Slack when issues are solved therein. We have been helping the world's leading companies like Atlan Data, Accryl, Chronosphere, Benlabs, Sprinto, MindsDB, TestRigor in scaling customer support, engineering escalations and IT helpdesk on Slack. We are founded by a team of second-time entrepreneurs who previously worked at companies like Facebook, Amazon and Qubole. Our small team of engineers, data scientists and product managers is based out of India. We are backed by Sequoia Surge, 8VC and leading angels..

Richpanel is building autonomous AI agents that help every brand deliver instant support and seamlessly talk to millions of customers at the same time. These AI agents are capable of mimicking humans simply by observing them. They can self-learn situation handling for every type of customer query. They understand what information is accessed for every situation, decisions to make and what tools to take action on. Richpanel started in 2020, is used by over 2,000+ brands and is funded by Sequoia. ## Gradual Autonomy AI agents start by suggesting response and actions to humans and based on human feedback start doing more and more of the work. This dramatically increases human agents' productivity and enables brands to scale their support operations while maintaining a lean team. Customer support is one of the most obvious use cases for AI, and no one has yet been able to build truly autonomous AI agents - *yet*. The players that create this will disrupt a massive market worth $400B+ per year. ## Why is Richpanel winning - **Access to data:** Started as a CX platform, we are sitting on 2,000+ paying customers that are willing and excited to try this. We have access to data and business logic. - **Agent vs chatbots:** We are not building chatbots but agents that can retrieve data, make decisions and take actions across applications. That's the difference between 20% vs 90% resolution rates. - **Continuous learning:** We started with [Richpanel sidekick](richpanel.com/sidekick) that assists human agents and learns from their feedback. The current model is best-in-class and ahead of competitors by a huge margin. ## Traction - 30 employees - 2,000+ Customers - Funded by Sequoia (same investors behind Apple, Google, AirBnB, Instagram) - Millions in ARR and profitable - We have Glassdoor rating of 4.4 (as of July 2024).
