About us
The revenue recovery team
every D2C brand needs.
AI agents that plug revenue leaks across WhatsApp, voice, and email — purpose-built for Indian D2C and ecommerce brands. Fast, multi-lingual, and wired into Shopify on day one.
Our story
From one frustrated ops team
to the AI Revenue Engine for D2C.
The short version of how we got here — and where we're going.
The problem
Our founders ran ops for a D2C brand handling 2,000+ WhatsApp conversations a day. Human agents burnt out. Chatbots annoyed customers. Something had to give.
First agent
We built the first Depra agent to handle abandoned cart recovery on WhatsApp. It converted 3x better than the baseline broadcast — we knew we were onto something.
Multi-channel
Voice AI joined the platform. Deepgram + ElevenLabs under the hood. Real humans couldn't tell. 200+ brands signed on within 6 months.
Now
Depra powers WhatsApp, voice, and email for 500+ D2C brands across India — recovering revenue that used to leak through the cracks. We're just getting started.
What we believe
Four things we won't compromise on.
Ship to learn.
We release early, measure, and iterate. A working prototype beats a perfect plan every time.
Humans decide, AI executes.
Every agent has a clear hand-off path. We build tools that make humans better, not obsolete.
India-first, always.
Built for Hindi, Tamil, Bengali — and every dialect of Hinglish in between. DPDP compliant, data hosted here.
Trust is earned daily.
We publish uptime, ship changelogs, and answer tough questions in public. No dark patterns, no lock-in.
The team
Operators, engineers, and CX nerds.
Distributed across Bengaluru, Aligarh, and Delhi — with monthly meet-ups in person.
