Equal AI Raises $30 Million to Automate Call Screening for Indian Consumers

Equal AI, a technology startup focused on combating spam and unwanted calls, has raised $30 million in a new funding round. The company uses artificial intelligence to screen incoming calls, helping users in India avoid robocalls, telemarketing, and scam attempts. India faces a significant problem with unsolicited calls, affecting millions of mobile users daily and contributing to fraud risks. The funding will be used to scale the platform’s infrastructure, improve detection accuracy, and expand its user base across the country. Equal AI’s solution analyzes call patterns and caller behavior in real time to determine whether a call is legitimate or spam. The service aims to reduce user frustration and protect vulnerable populations from phone-based scams. With this investment, Equal AI plans to enhance its AI models and integrate with more telecom partners. The move reflects growing demand for privacy and security tools in emerging markets with high mobile penetration.
