i grew up in delhi dreaming of building tech millions of people couldn't live without. today, @wisprflow is officially live in india! before this launch, i flew to india to answer one question: does wispr flow actually work here? in the back of an auto with horns blaring. a mumbai gym with punjabi music at full volume. a dhaba with the waiter rattling off the menu faster than you can type. we went and found out - it worked every single time. india became our second biggest market on its own. we 3x'd growth in 3 months with no campaigns or partnerships. people just found wispr flow organically and made it part of their daily life. the least we could do was show up for them properly. so we're launching wispr flow in india with hinglish & android support. because it's the way i've spoken my whole life. and the way everyone around me still does. grateful to my co-founder @sahajgarg6, our india lead @findingnimo_, and everyone who made this possible.

Wispr Flow exists because I believe voice is the future, and voice means listening before speaking. India has been one of the most exciting things to happen to us this year. We 3x'd here in three months without a single campaign, and this week we showed up in person to say thank you. Bangalore had a lot to say back. Some love, some feedback, all of it useful. India isn't one market, it's many. Every city has its own voice. Every language carries its own weight. Keep telling us what you think. That's how this product gets built. More regional language support on the GTM and product roadmap soon :)

as much as i love this, this isn’t some hidden marketing opportunity. ads on autos, buses, trains have been around forever. this is literally one of the oldest advertising channels. nothing new about the medium itself. since when this became a revolutionary move? v blr tech bubble coded post. but this is a great example of how offline campaigns work now. offline is the trigger. you do something slightly fun or noticeable in the real world → people take photos → it spreads online → that’s where the scale comes from. this campaign wins because it's all over the twitter right now. otherwise it’s just another ad on an auto.

we just discovered a hidden marketing opportunity no one is paying attention to. and it's happening in the streets of bangalore. US tech companies are burning millions on digital ads to reach bangalore. but the entire city is sitting in traffic, looking at the back of an auto rickshaw. not their phones. bangalore has some of the worst traffic in the world. the average person spends hours a day inside it. and almost no one in tech is using it to their advantage. so for @wisprflow's launch in india, we did something different. this week, 100 autos are driving through bangalore wrapped in wispr flow branding. if you're in the city this week, there's a chance the auto you're stuck behind is one of ours. send us a photo when you spot it!
