About Talkiva

The story behind India's coolest voice hangout.

We started Talkiva with one simple idea — in a country of 1.4 billion people, everyone deserves someone awesome to talk to.

Our Story

Born from a 3 AM call that should've been a hangout

In 2024, our co-founder spent a late night in a Pune hostel room, scrolling through boring chat apps, empty group chats, and bots that replied "I understand" in 12 different fonts. What she wanted was simple: a real human, awake, who was actually fun to talk to.

That night, Talkiva was sketched on the back of a notebook — a place where anyone in India could press one button and land in a great conversation with a real, verified person, in their own language. No awkwardness, no forms, just good vibes.

  • Real people across 35+ Indian languages, all verified through a 6-step process
  • Real conversations with real humans — no scripts, no bots, no judgment
  • Free chat forever; voice and video calls priced at a student's chai budget

Our Values

What we'll never compromise on

Four principles behind every feature, every hire, and every great conversation.

Absolute Anonymity

Your identity is yours alone. Use a nickname, hide your number, and speak freely — we collect the minimum, and we guard it fiercely.

Empathy First

Before protocols, before metrics, before anything: how does this feel for the person on the other end of the line? Always that question.

Safety & Trust

Every listener is background-verified and trained in crisis response. Encryption is non-negotiable. Reports are actioned within hours.

Accessible for India

Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, and more. Works on 4G and patchy connections. Priced so a first call costs less than a filter coffee.

Our Listeners

Real, verified people on the other side

Every Talkiva friend completes identity verification (KYC) and safety training before their very first chat — so the person you're talking to is real, screened, and held to our Community Guidelines.
