Looking for an India-based co-founder for my voice-AI visa interview trainer (~$1K MRR, growing)
Hey IH,
I'm a serial solo founder. My last product, Speeek.io (AI video dubbing), I built from zero to 200K users and ~$53K ARR — runs ~90% on autopilot today and funds my new venture.
For the last 5 months I've been full-time on Permito — an AI trainer for U.S. visa interviews. Users talk by voice with a realistic AI consular officer and get detailed feedback (F-1, B1/B2, H-1B). ~$1K MRR, growing organically through SEO, 80% of revenue from India.
Why India is the market: 1.4M+ U.S. visas issued to Indians per year (3.5× the next country). F-1 rejection rate ~41%. Indians already pay $700-1900 to local consultants for interview prep. We do it better and cheaper.
I cover the full technical side end-to-end — backend, realtime voice pipeline (STT → LLM → TTS), Stripe + RazorPay, SEO. What I don't have is local presence.
Looking for an India-based co-founder who can own:
- Operations, accounting, compliance, corporate structure (we need an Indian Pvt Ltd to scale properly)
- Marketing in the visa / immigration / edtech niche — big plus if you know this space
- B2B sales (we're launching a Teams product for schools and agencies this year)
Equal equity split. Not a side project — I'm full-time, bootstrapped, shipping fast. If you've worked in this niche or close to it and want a real partnership, let's talk.

This is one of the stronger use cases for voice AI because the pain is urgent, expensive, and emotionally loaded. Visa interviews are not casual practice. People are paying consultants because they want confidence before a high-stakes moment.
The positioning I’d sharpen is this: Permito is not just an AI visa interview trainer. It is interview readiness infrastructure for applicants, schools, and agencies.
That makes the name/domain layer more important than usual. Permito is clear, but the .ai and immigration-specific feel may start to cap the product if you expand into Teams, agencies, schools, multiple visa types, admissions prep, or broader interview readiness.
Beryxa .com would fit that larger direction better. It feels more like a serious training and decision-confidence platform, while still giving you room to keep visa interviews as the wedge.
Since you already have revenue, India traction, SEO momentum, and a B2B product coming, I’d pressure-test this before more schools, agencies, and applicants attach the whole category to Permito.ai.
