“It's one of those markets that is fundamentally changing with the development of AI. Over a billion people around the world are learning English in some form. So, we believe the market is truly massive for us,” chief executive Akshay Akash.

“Priority markets for us are Latin America, followed by Indonesia and India. So, the idea is to scale distribution capabilities in these regions,” added Akash.

Akash said that users can talk to Stimuler’s AI bot, Sara, to get feedback on their pronunciation, vocabulary, fluency, and other speaking skills. He added that the platform is made for people who already know some English and want to improve it further.

Harsha Kumar, partner, Lightspeed, said, “Stimuler is solving a universal need - making spoken English proficiency more accessible with sharp execution and deep product insight. As voice AI transforms learning, I believe Stimuler has built a platform to lead the category for the next billion users.”

“Consumer AI is an interesting category globally for us, and the team at Stimuler has built a global-ready product which is seeing a strong user engagement,” said Tuck Lye Koh, founding partner at SWC Global.
