The Direct Line Smallest.ai × Alohaa.ai · Olive Café & Bar, Mumbai Almost every business in India still runs on the phone call. Orders, collections, support, verification — the moments that actually decide something happen on a call. It's also the least modernised part of the stack. We're two companies working on either half of that call, and we're putting a table together to talk about where it goes next. Why the two of us Alohaa owns the channel — cloud telephony, virtual numbers, IVR, WhatsApp and SMS. The infrastructure that connects the call. Smallest.ai owns the conversation — voice agents, speech-to-text and text-to-speech. What actually gets said once someone picks up. Alohaa gets the call to the customer. We decide what happens when they answer. Neither of us covers the whole line alone, which is why this is one dinner and not two. Who's at the table AVP and above, through to C-suite. Senior operators who own customer conversations at scale. A short list, invited individually. What happens Dinner at Olive, drinks, and the conversation that comes with it. No stage, no deck, nobody presents. The name A direct line is the number that skips the switchboard. It's also how the evening is meant to go.

About Event Three years of "AI is advancing rapidly." Two years of AI slides in every board deck. Ask a room of BFSI leaders what they've deployed and you'll get a long list. Ask what it changed, and you get pilots, chatbots, and an AI tool licence nobody tracks. On 9 September, during GFF week, we're putting a curated group of fintech, insurance and enterprise leaders under one roof to answer a narrower question: what actually moved?
