History
Exotel was started by Shivakumar Ganesan in 2011. Shivakumar's previous venture, Roopit, needed a simple automated call center solution for which he built an in-house product, and eventually it became a standalone company in the form of Exotel. Exotel picked up a Rs. 25 million (approximately US$500,000) funding from Mumbai Angels and Blume Ventures in March 2012. Witnessing rapid growth, Exotel's annual revenue crossed Rs. 10 million while serving more than 350 clients by June 2013.
In February 2015, Exotel acquired social media startup Croak.it! in an effort to strengthen its line of products in voice. Exotel is currently handling more than 1 million calls a day with over 18000 companies registered on its site and over 45000 users. In March 2016, Exotel set up research division to spur innovation in voice space.
