Tired of Spam Calls? There's a Homegrown Startup to Shut Them Out!

Let's be honest, nobody enjoys that moment when your phone rings and it's an unknown number.  Is it a friend calling about that weekend getaway you planned?  Or is it just another robot voice trying to sell you a car warranty you don't need?

Well! you would be amazed to know that according to a McAfee survey, 48% of Indians who fell victim to AI call scams lost over Rs 50,000 each.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that spam calls are a universal annoyance. They disrupt our workflow, interrupt dinner plans, and leave us feeling frustrated. Worse yet, they can be downright scary for older adults or those susceptible to scams. But what if there was a way to take back control of your phone and silence those unwanted calls for good?

Perhaps even better, what if you could know who's calling before you even pick up the phone? Well, good news! There's a solution, and it doesn't involve apps like Truecaller that dig into your personal data and steal your entire contact list.

Instead, we're talking about a cutting-edge Indian app that prioritizes your privacy. This app, called Naam, leverages the power of artificial intelligence to identify unknown callers without ever needing to access your contacts.
