We’re Building a World Where Voice Connects People and Technology

Our Story

Mihup began in 2016 from a simple but powerful insight - technology is not built for the way people naturally communicate. Technology is designed on the assumption that users are fluent in English or comfortable typing. But in a country as linguistically diverse as India, that assumption excludeds millions.‍ Mihup was founded to change that. We envision a world where anyone can interact with technology using their natural voice - in their own language, dialect and accent. This idea became the foundation of Mihup. Even our name, short for “May I Help You Please?” is a reflection of our mission to build technology that is helpful, human-centric and universally accessible.
