Bengaluru-based voice technology startup Arrowhead has closed a $3 million seed funding round, with Stellaris Venture Partners leading the investment, as the company looks to accelerate the rollout of its AI-driven voice solutions for financial institutions.
The funding round also drew backing from a group of high-profile angel investors, including founders and senior leaders from fintech companies such as CRED, M2P, Turtlemint, and Kissht, industry sources said.
Arrowhead plans to deploy the fresh capital towards advancing its core AI capabilities, strengthening its engineering and go-to-market teams, and expanding the reach of its voice automation platform across key financial services use cases.
Founded in 2022 by Devyani Gupta and Vengadanathan Srinivasan, the startup focuses on building conversational voice agents that can independently manage extended and nuanced interactions. Its technology is designed to support banks, NBFCs, and fintech companies in areas such as sales, renewals, collections, and customer support, enabling them to scale operations without compromising on conversation quality.
The company claims its voice agents can sustain natural conversations for up to 20 minutes, seamlessly handle language switching, and integrate with enterprise systems like CRMs and internal databases. Arrowhead also reports materially higher conversion rates compared to traditional human-led call operations.
According to the startup, several financial institutions have already moved beyond trial deployments and are integrating its voice agents into live workflows.
The startup currently serves more than 50 clients, including Paytm, Aditya Birla Capital, Bank of Baroda Cards, and InsuranceDekho, and saw a sharp rise in recurring revenue in the latter half of 2025.
