1. The Call Center Collapse: Why Traditional Ops Are Broken

Running a 500-agent call center costs upwards of ₹2.5 crore annually and yet average CSAT remains below 70%. Why? Because call centers are reactive, rigid, and built for a world that no longer exists.

Over 58% of inbound enterprise calls in BFSI and telecom are repetitive, low-complexity queries perfectly automatable with Voice AI.

Pain points:

• Long IVR queues and transfers

• Agent burnout and high attrition

• Poor scalability in peak cycles

• Manual data entry and fragmented CRMs

2. How Voice AI Transforms Customer Workflows

Voice AI isn’t a tool. It’s a layer that runs customer operations.

When deployed correctly, it:

• Answers lacs of calls concurrently with 0 wait time

• Handles multilingual queries across Tier 2/3 cities

• Updates CRMs, triggers workflows, and learns over time

Key capabilities:

• Contextual, memory-based conversations

• Secure integrations with LOS, CRM, KYC tools

• Smart escalations to human agents only when needed

3. Key Use Cases: Recovery, Onboarding, and Support

Let’s look at 3 mission-critical workflows that Voice AI is already transforming:

a) Recovery Calls

• AI voicebots handle EMI reminders, NPA resolution, and bounce-back follow-ups.

• Response rates improve with multilingual personalization.

• Real-time call logs sync with collections dashboards.

b) Onboarding & KYC

• Automate welcome calls, document checks, and consent capture.

• Integrate with eKYC APIs and auto-log call recordings.

• Reduce agent dependency by 70% in KYC workflows.

c) Customer Support

• Resolve common issues (billing, password reset, plan renewal) without agents.

• 24/7 availability without added headcount.

• Higher CX scores via instant query handling.
