UAE-Based Origa Raises $450,000 to Scale Voice AI Sales Automation in the GCC

4 Min Read

US-based Voice AI startup Origa has raised $450,000 in a new funding round, bringing its total capital raised to $1 million. The company, which recently established a regional base in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), secured the investment from Antler Singapore and angel investors with backgrounds at Uber, SpaceX, and Salesforce.

The fresh capital will be used to enhance product development, expand the engineering team, and accelerate regional growth. Origa’s platform provides AI voice agents that automate complex sales qualification conversations for high-value sectors, including real estate, financial services, and education.

A Regional Hub in ADGM

Signaling a long-term commitment to the region, Origa has incorporated in ADGM to serve as its dedicated base for the UAE and broader GCC markets. The platform is designed for the region’s multilingual environment, with voice agents supporting Arabic dialects alongside English, Hindi, and over 50 other languages to ensure natural and culturally fluent conversations.

Origa’s platform also adheres to the UAE’s data protection standards, including compliance with the UAE Federal Data Protection Law and ADGM’s Data Protection Regulations. The company already serves UAE clients, including a luxury property developer and a major car dealership, and is planning a dedicated go-to-market strategy for Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah, with Saudi Arabia next on its expansion roadmap.

Tackling High-Value Sales Inefficiencies

Origa addresses a critical gap in high-ticket sales industries where companies can lose up to 85% of leads due to slow and inconsistent follow-up processes. Traditional sales teams struggle to scale during peak times, such as new real estate launches or university admission seasons, leading to significant revenue leakage.

While early voice AI tools focused on simple tasks like appointment booking, they often fail in complex sales conversations that require handling objections, discussing budgets, and checking eligibility. Origa was built to manage these high-stakes, multi-turn conversations that existing AI solutions cannot handle effectively.

Engineered Intelligence Over Prompting

Unlike many voice AI platforms that rely on prompt engineering over generic large language models, Origa has fine-tuned its model on over one million real business conversations. This allows its voice agents to conduct in-depth sales discussions, maintaining full context across more than 50 conversational turns and reasoning with live CRM data in real-time, all with sub-800-millisecond latency for a natural-feeling interaction.

The company has seen significant traction, growing its revenue 12x in the past nine months and currently processing over two million minutes of conversations monthly. It serves more than 33 active customers across the UAE, India, Malaysia, and the United States, with zero customer churn since its launch.

“Our biggest competitor isn’t another AI company — it’s the status quo,” said Himanshu Geed, Co-Founder & CEO of Origa. “The UAE has been a particularly strong validation for us — this is a market that demands quality, speed, and cultural nuance in equal measure. Establishing our ADGM base and building for Arabic-first localisation reflects our commitment to serving this region with the same depth we bring to every market we operate in.”
