Wispr Flow expands India operations with Hinglish voice model and aggressive hiring as the country becomes its second-largest market

Wispr Flow, a Bay Area-headquartered startup building AI-powered voice input software, began beta testing a Hinglish voice model earlier this year and launched on Android after initially debuting on Mac and Windows. India is now the startup's fastest-growing market and second-largest by both users and revenue after the U.S.

The startup was growing about 60% month over month in India earlier this year, but growth accelerated to around 100% following its recent India launch campaign last month. Between October 2025 and April 2026, India accounted for 14% of Wispr Flow's global downloads but only around 2% of in-app purchase revenue, according to data from Sensor Tower.

Wispr Flow introduced India-specific pricing at ₹320 (around $3.4) per month for annual plans in December, significantly lower than its standard $12 monthly pricing globally, and plans to expand multilingual voice support over the next 12 months. The startup aims to eventually reduce costs to as low as ₹10–20 (around 10–20 cents) per month.

The startup hired Nimisha Mehta in earlier this year to lead India operations and plans to grow to around 30 employees in India over the next year, building out consumer growth, partnerships, and enterprise teams. The startup currently has about 60 employees globally.
