Talking about Voiro’s plans, Kavita Shenoy, Founder and CEO, Voiro, said, 

“We have always taken pride in our ability to solve monetisation challenges for media teams and the agility of our customer experience. This investment will play a strategic role in driving market expansion internationally, launching Voiro 3.0, and investing strongly in data engineering to showcase a world-class SaaS product from India for global media organisations.”
