ConvoZen.AI, the enterprise conversational AI Agentic platform born out of NoBroker, recently hosted its flagship Conversational AI Summit, bringing together enterprise leaders and AI innovators to chart the future of AI-driven customer engagement.

At the summit, ConvoZen unveiled its end-to-end Conversational AI Stack alongside two indigenous frontier speech models purpose-built for Bharat: Akshara (Speech-to-Text) and Ragini (Text-to-Speech).

Beyond Models: An End-to-End Conversational AI Stack

Born from the large-scale conversational infrastructure challenges of NoBroker, where millions of real estate transactions are inherently voice-led, ConvoZen evolved into a unified enterprise platform to manage customer-facing operations at scale.

While most conversational AI solutions operate as fragmented point tools, voice bots, chatbots, copilots, or analytics layers, ConvoZen integrates the full lifecycle into a single platform built on four agent layers:

• Conversational AI Agents – Omnichannel multilingual AI across voice, chat, and WhatsApp
• Copilot AI Agents – Real-time assistance that 10x human agent productivity
• Supervisor AI Agents – 100% conversation monitoring for quality, compliance, and coaching
• Customer 360 AI Agents – AI-driven unified customer intelligence

Today, ConvoZen serves 50+ enterprises including TATA AIG, HDFC Life, CARS24, Spinny, Pilgrim, The Souled Store, Maruti Suzuki, Kotak AMC, and Jana Bank to name a few.

The company’s long-term vision of building AI infrastructure for Bharat reflects the foundational digital transformation principles articulated by Nandan Nilekani, India’s tech visionary, around inclusion, scale, and public digital goods.

Akshara — Frontier Speech-to-Text for Real-World Conversations

Akshara is trained on anonymized real-world B2C telephonic conversations. Unlike studio-trained generic models, it is purpose-built for:

• 8 kHz telephony recordings
• Short, high-variability consumer speech
• Multi-dialect and code-switched conversations
• Business terminology and contextual phrasing

ConvoZen’s Akshara speech-to-text model delivers the lowest word error rates of any Indic ASR system tested, achieving an overall 32% reduction in errors compared to the next-best model and over 55% fewer errors than leading global alternatives on top of publicly available benchmarks like IndicVoices. Across 9 regional languages, Akshara outperformed Indian and global frontier models on public benchmarks such as Indic Voices and Swara.

ConvoZen also launched the Indic Conversational AI Voice Benchmark, an open benchmark designed specifically for authentic B2C telephonic interactions. On this benchmark, Akshara led performance by a significant margin.

Ragini — Expressive Multilingual Text-to-Speech for Bharat

Ragini is ConvoZen’s frontier Text-to-Speech engine trained on proprietary conversational data. It delivers:

• Human-like expressiveness and conversational rhythm
• Seamless multilingual and code-switching capabilities
• High accuracy in Indian names, localities, numbers, and terms like UPI and Aadhaar

In blind comparative tests across six languages, Ragini outperformed leading Indian and global providers in naturalness and pronunciation accuracy.

It launches with multiple enterprise-ready voices (male and female tonalities) tailored for BFSI, automotive, healthcare, D2C, and edtech deployments.

Speaking at the summit, Akhil Gupta, Founder, ConvoZen.AI & NoBroker.com, said: “We believe the future of customer operations lies in the coexistence of human and AI agents. Our unified platform brings together Conversational AI Agents across voice, chat, and WhatsApp with memory. India is a voice-first nation. Yet enterprise-grade voice understanding models trained on real Indian conversational data have been scarce. With Akshara and Ragini, we are introducing indigenous frontier speech models built specifically for India’s multilingual, multi-dialect ecosystem. Our vision is to make AI truly conversational for Bharat, not just automated, but culturally and contextually aware.”

The summit also featured perspectives from some of India’s most influential voices in technology and digital transformation, including an opening keynote by Sandeep Alur, CEO of Microsoft India; a fireside chat with Pramod Varma, Co-founder of EkStep and a key architect behind India’s digital public infrastructure initiatives, panel discussions with Bhuvan Dheer, CMO of Maruti Suzuki India, Umesh Shetty from HDFC Life, Amit Thakkar of TATA AIG, Arzan Singapurwala of Meta,  Virender Bisht of Niyo, Vartika Bansal of Elevation Capital, Arpit Mittal, founder of SpeakX, Giridhar Amerla of Jana Bank, Nilesh Kambli of Pilgrim, Ajay Lulla of The Souled Store. Ankit Bose, Head AI at NASSCOM closed the summit with a valedictory keynote.

 

Proven Enterprise Impact

• Pilgrim’s 65% conversations handled by conversational AI Agents, reducing human agents dependency by 40% & boosting CSAT to 4.25.
• CARS24 achieved 100% automation of quality audits using ConvoZen Supervisor Agents, strengthening compliance and speeding up QA operations.
• Jana Bank observed ~7% overall sales growth using Conversational Voice AI agents, improving conversion outcomes at scale.
• By deploying ConvoZen Supervisor AI Agents for 100% automated call auditing and call-level diagnostic insights, NoBroker strengthened sales quality and performance, driving up to 25% improvement in call quality (NoBroker Interiors) and an 8% uplift in site visits (NoBroker Builder). Voice AI agents in the Builder business delivered ~5% incremental growth, improving end-to-end conversions.

The Road Ahead

As enterprises accelerate AI adoption, the need for sovereign, telephony-optimized, high-accuracy voice infrastructure is becoming mission-critical.

With Akshara and Ragini, ConvoZen positions itself at the forefront of India’s conversational AI evolution combining indigenous frontier models with a unified enterprise stack built for real-world deployment at scale.

The summit underscored a defining shift in enterprise AI: not replacing human teams but elevating them through intelligent human–AI collaboration.

“Expanding into Asia-Pacific is a key step in our growth journey to becoming a truly global company,” said Alberto Alcaniz, Co-CEO at Redslim. “As our clients strengthen their regional focus, we are committed to investing where they invest. Establishing a dedicated Asia-Pacific presence brings us closer to our clients, enhances our support on the ground, and reinforces our commitment to grow alongside them in one of the most dynamic regions.”

 

The expansion represents an important milestone in Redslim’s development following Astorg’s Mid-Cap investment in November 2024. Astorg partners closely with management teams to scale specialized technology and services platforms globally, supporting Redslim as it strengthens its position as a trusted data management partner for multinational consumer brands.

Xsolla, a leading global video game commerce company, today released the latest edition of The Xsolla Report, timed to coincide with this week’s activations and collaborations in San Francisco. This edition provides insights from working with thousands of studios to map out where the industry’s biggest opportunities are emerging.

 

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260311021020/en/

 

 

 

The gaming industry remains extraordinarily vibrant, and the playbook for success is changing. Studios that are adapting their commercial strategies, embracing direct-to-player commerce, expanding into high-growth global markets, and leveraging AI to sharpen operations are pulling ahead and building businesses designed to thrive for years to come.

 

“The economics of game development have and will continue to shift and evolve into the future. Budgets have expanded, player acquisition costs have surged, and traditional publishing models are under increasing strain,” said Chris Hewish, President of Xsolla. “We have reached a tipping point where old assumptions no longer hold, and leaders who recognize this shift early will capture disproportionate advantage.”

 

 

“The conversation around direct-to-consumer in gaming has fundamentally changed coming out of multiple regulatory changes,” said Berkley Egenes, Chief Marketing and Growth Officer at Xsolla. “What began as a tactical revenue diversification play has evolved into a strategic imperative for studios to grow and thrive into the future of live-service games.“

 

 

Key Findings From The Xsolla Report Include:

 

 

• Leading game companies are already generating 15–45% of total revenue through D2C web shops, yielding up to 25% more profit per transaction compared to platform-based purchases
• High-growth markets like Turkey (13% CAGR), India (11%), and Southeast Asia (6%) represent the industry’s most exciting expansion opportunities through 2029
• AI is delivering real operational gains, compressing development timelines by roughly 20% and reducing support costs by approximately 40%
• “Platform omnivore” gamers who play across consoles, PC, and mobile now represent 43% of US gamers, up from 30%, creating new pathways for studios to reach players wherever they are
• Titles with sustainable live service models continue to grow, with PUBG: Battlegrounds reaching approximately 75 million Steam users and Roblox on Xbox climbing to nearly 30 million owners
• The April 2025 U.S. court ruling allowing in-app linking to external offers has opened the door for developers to engage players across channels like never before

 

The report also outlines a clear roadmap for what leaders should prioritize next: building for modularity and faster development cycles, investing in owned audience infrastructure, and turning compliance into a competitive advantage as global markets open up.

 

“We’re entering a period where the studios with strong foundational commercial infrastructure will outperform those with superior creative execution alone,” added Egenes. “D2C is becoming a table-stakes requirement for ambitious live-service games, and the studios that treat this moment as strategic will be the ones defining the future of mobile gaming success.”

Canva, the world’s leading all-in-one visual communication platform, today unveiled Magic Layers, a new breakthrough technology that turns any flat design or image into something you can edit, refine, and remix to suit your vision.

 

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260311951174/en/

 

 

 

Generative AI has triggered a flood of visual content, but most of it remains locked in static image files. Even small changes can require starting over, with reprompts that can unintentionally alter the entire design.

 

Powered by years of internal research and Canva’s growing investment in its AI development arm, Magic Layers ushers in a new era of editable content, where speed meets true creative control.

 

 

Available in public beta today, it turns AI-generated content into a launchpad, not a locked file, empowering creators to refine, reshape, and perfect every detail.

 

 

How it works

 

 

Magic Layers bridges the gap between AI-generated content and true creative control by turning flat images into structured, editable layers inside the Canva editor. Fixed files are unlocked, becoming brand-ready and scalable design assets. Whether starting with a new idea or an existing design, Magic Layers brings a new level of flexibility to AI-powered content creation:

 

 

• Upload your image, and Canva does the rest:
  • Elements are intelligently separated into individual, movable objects
  • Layout relationships are preserved automatically
  • Text remains live and fully editable
  • Outputs can be refined and iterated without starting over each time

 

• Generate a fully editable design with Canva AI:
  • Go from prompt to refining in the Canva Editor in moments
  • Create visually-rich and on-brand presentations, docs, social posts and more
  • Then, move elements, swap backgrounds, or change fonts, all inside Canva

Magic Layers supports single-page .png and .jpg files in beta, with expanded capabilities in development.

 

For marketing teams refreshing campaigns, small businesses updating product messaging, and creators remixing ideas, what was once a barrier is now a starting point.

 

 

“There’s been an explosion of AI-generated content that has, until now, been a dead end. You’d get a finished image you couldn’t edit, refine, or make your own. We think AI should spark creation, not stop it,” said Cameron Adams, co-founder and Chief Product Officer, Canva. “After a breakthrough from our AI research team, we’re introducing Magic Layers so anyone can take a flat image and turn it into a fully editable design inside Canva. There’s no need to start over, or to figure out the right prompt. Generation is just the beginning – real creative freedom comes from being able to edit without losing momentum.”

 

 

The Technology Behind Magic Layers

 

 

When an image is exported, flattened, or generated by AI, its structure collapses. Text becomes pixels, individual objects merge together, and the design logic that once held everything in place disappears. Until now, editing that image meant starting over.

 

 

While traditional vector tools can trace shapes by converting pixel regions into outlines, they can’t understand what those shapes represent. They can’t distinguish a headline from a background, or identify which elements belong together. Magic Layers was built to solve that problem.

 

 

Instead of simply tracing an image, Magic Layers interprets the design as a whole. It analyzes structure, identifies relationship between elements, restores text as live boxes, and separates components while preserving the original layout. The result is a fully editable design – not just traced shapes, but a set of elements that preserve the intent behind the original creation.

 

 

Canva’s Foundational AI Layer

 

 

Magic Layers is a new capability of the Canva Design Model, the company’s proprietary foundation model, and the first to generate designs that are editable from the start. Since launching in October, the Canva Design Model has generated hundreds of millions of editable presentations, documents, and social posts while also powering Canva’s integrations with ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot.

 

 

Magic Layers begins rolling out today in public beta in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, with global availability to follow. Learn more at www.canva.com/magic-layers.

Launched in 2013, Canva is the world’s leading all-in-one platform for visual communication and collaboration.
