Kirusa was founded in 2001 based on the idea of improving user interfaces for data services on mobile phones. When Kirusa started out in the U.S., the exposure to the latest technologies helped it to be remarkably far sighted and develop a path breaking innovative application, Voice SMS, which could bring the power of mobile communication to a larger class of mobile users and contexts, allowing users to send messages with voice, without the need for typing. Kirusa’s Voice SMS application has been chosen by more than twenty telecom carriers across the world, and has changed the way people communicate.

On the occasion, Dr. Inderpal Singh Mumick, Founder and CEO, Kirusa Inc., said, “We are honored at being selected.
