VerbaFlo, which was by founded in 2024 by Sayantan Biswas, Abhishek Garg, VP Singh and Dan Smith, helps real estate owners and operators to automate leasing, operations, and resident engagement through conversational AI. It supports conversations in more than 200 languages.
Sayantan Biswas, founder at VerbaFlo, noted that real estate is one of the largest industries in the world but its communication channels are fragmented.

He explained that the startup supports more than 40 use cases across enquiry management, lead qualification, bookings, onboarding and resident engagement.
