Autonomous AI agents for sales pipeline automation.

The company
Salecium is building a suite of autonomous AI agents that run the entire B2B outbound process — from lead discovery and contact verification to cold calls, WhatsApp chats and booking meetings straight onto a sales team's calendar. Its agents train on a company's own knowledge base, pitch and brand voice, and sync with the client's CRM.
Voice AI has crossed the latency threshold that makes cold calling viable — Salecium claims sub-second response times — while the cost of manual sales development keeps climbing. The company positions its agents as a cheaper, always-on alternative to hiring, claiming savings of over 80% versus traditional cold-calling operations.
Founded in 2026 in Chennai by Dinesh Bhaskaran, the company is betting that most outbound work — prospecting, qualifying, following up — is repetitive enough to hand to specialised agents, freeing teams to focus on closing.
It's early days and the public detail on the founding team is thin, but Bhaskaran has framed a clear, opinionated product: not one generalist bot, but distinct agents for lead gen, voice and WhatsApp working as a single pipeline.
