Anish Adamane

Founder of Astrazen, building AI voice agents for sales conversations that take seven minutes, not thirty seconds. Currently a student at Masters Union.

Now

Iterating on Astrazen's voice infrastructure — Pipecat orchestration on Twilio SIP, Deepgram for speech, Groq for inference, with a switchable TTS layer for Indian and global voices. Targeting a ₹7-9 per-minute cost ceiling without making the agent sound like one.

Selected Work

Astrazen

AI voice agents for high-intent follow-ups in real estate, premium SaaS, education, and D2C — categories where users hesitate, questions shift mid-call, and trust takes time. Started as WhatsApp automation, dropped after the META licensing reality. Pivoted to tech services, then to voice AI after a real estate client conversation made it clear which problem was worth solving.

Iterated through three voice stacks (Vapi → LiveKit → Pipecat) before settling on the current architecture, choosing for cost, latency, and how natural the agent sounds in Hindi and Hinglish.

Stack: Pipecat · Twilio SIP · Deepgram Nova-3 · Groq Llama 3.3 · Sarvam / ElevenLabs Flash · Python · Next.js

LeadQualEnv

Text-based reinforcement learning environment for real estate lead qualification, built for Meta and Hugging Face's OpenEnv competition with Palak Dua. Three difficulty levels, deterministic graders, and Pydantic-modeled observation, action, and reward structures.

Two-layer simulator: a deterministic rule engine, with an isolated LLM paraphrase layer on top. Profile signals (problem clarity, red-flag language, scope instability) modeled from real call transcripts.

Stack: Python · Pydantic · OpenAI / Anthropic APIs · Hugging Face Spaces

HENNGE recursion challenge

Solved the backend recursion challenge in pure recursive Python — no for or while loops, no comprehensions. Implemented RFC 6238 TOTP with HMAC-SHA-512 from spec for the submission auth, verified against the published test vectors before sending.
