Pype AI, an AI-powered front desk platform for hospitals and clinics, has raised $1.2 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Kalaari Capital, with additional participation from Wyser Capital and Tenity.
The newly secured capital will help the company strengthen its healthcare communication system and drive its expansion into the US market.
Founded in 2024 by Dhruv Mehra and Ashish Tripathy, Pype AI develops voice-based AI agents that automate key administrative functions, including appointment scheduling, follow-ups, treatment preparation, and 24/7 patient support. The team trains these agents on medical conversational datasets to ensure accurate, empathetic interactions.
The startup has also introduced Whispey, an open-source observability platform featuring more than 40 evaluations to ensure compliance and performance. By integrating with hospital electronic medical record systems, Pype AI helps reduce missed appointments, lower operational costs, and enhance patient retention.
Currently deployed across multiple Indian healthcare institutions, Pype AI says it now automates over 85% of patient queries. The company is integrating with major systems such as Zocdoc, Epic, and Cerner, and onboarding clinic networks in the United States.
Looking ahead, the startup aims to partner with over 50 hospitals and clinic chains by mid-2026, and furthermore, it is collaborating with medical professionals to publish research on AI-driven improvements in patient adherence.
