Capabilities

A complete operating system for telephone research

For brand trackers, customer feedback, policy evaluation, academic studies, beneficiary surveys, market sizing — from survey design through field, to clean data on your desk.

AI voice interviews

Autonomous agents that hold real conversations — not robocalls. Multi-turn rapport, intelligent probing, near-human comprehension of free-form answers.

Hindi-first, multilingual

Purpose-built for Indian languages with code-switching support — Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Punjabi, Malayalam, Odia, Assamese, and English.

Branching survey logic

Visual survey designer with skip patterns, quotas, and adaptive question paths. Import existing instruments or build new ones — both in minutes.

Real-time monitoring

Watch the field as it happens — completions, quota fill, response distributions, geography. Live transcripts and per-call confidence scoring.

Targeted sampling

Demographic quota management, stratified random sampling, DND scrubbing. Representative samples by city, district, age, gender, income — or any custom strata.

Clean data, every format

Raw transcripts, coded responses, weighted distributions, crosstabs. Export to any standard format or pipe to your analytics stack via API.

How it works

From questionnaire to clean data, in four steps

No hiring. No training. No call centres. Configure once, launch a wave, watch the data come in.

01
Design the survey

Describe your survey in natural language, or import an existing instrument. Configure quotas, branching, and target demographics.

02
Load the audience

Provide your contact list or define a target population. We handle sampling, DND scrubbing, and consent verification.

03
Launch the wave

Thousands of calls dial in parallel within TRAI-compliant windows. Monitor the field live as responses come in.

04
Get the data

Auto-coded responses, weighted distributions, AI-summarised themes. Export everywhere — CSV, SPSS, Excel, live API.

Or — even simpler
Let Shrota's AI handle all four steps for you.

Just describe the question you want to answer. We draft the survey, pick the right sample, run the field, and return clean, weighted data — you only review the result.

The idea

Listening becomes evidence.

Until now, large telephone surveys meant call centres, weeks of recruiting and training, and a calendar measured in months. The bottleneck was always human.

Shrota removes that bottleneck. Conversations happen in parallel — by the thousand — in the respondent's own language. Every voice is captured, transcribed, structured, and weighted.

Thousands of voices — one dataset.

Built for scale

What used to take five months now takes five days.

Traditional CATI means weeks of recruiting, training, and dialling — and budgets that climb with every interview. Shrota delivers the same coverage in a week, at a fraction of the cost.

AI voice agents deploy instantly, scale linearly, and maintain consistent quality — whether it's the first interview or the hundred-thousandth.

Why teams switch

No hiring. No headcount ceiling. No quality drift.

An AI workforce changes the economics of primary research. Spin up a wave for a Tuesday, run another at 10× the size on Wednesday, or pause for a month — there's no roster to manage.

Zero workforce overhead
Old way
Hire, train, and manage hundreds of interviewers before a single call goes out.
With Shrota
No hiring. No firing. No HR. Agents are ready to dial the minute you launch.
Scale up or down, instantly
Old way
Capacity is capped by headcount. A 10× study means hiring 10× more people.
With Shrota
Run 200 calls today, 20,000 tomorrow, pause next week. Cost scales with the work.
Identical quality, every call
Old way
Interviewer fatigue, accent drift, day-1 vs day-30 variability. Quality control is a full-time job.
With Shrota
Every respondent hears the same well-rehearsed agent. No drift, no off-days, no off-script answers.
Zero ramp-up time
Old way
Two-to-four weeks of recruiting and training before the first interview goes out.
With Shrota
Approve the script in the morning, see results by afternoon. No ramp.
