Zoom expands cloud based phone service in India with AI contact centre
Zoom is expanding its cloud phone service for businesses in India. On Wednesday, June 11, it announced that Zoom Phone will now be available in four more licensed areas, including Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, and the Delhi-NCR region, which covers Delhi, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Noida, and Gurugram. This means more businesses in these regions can use Zoom's phone system to stay connected.
Before this, Zoom Phone was approved to operate in Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. With this update, the service now covers six telecom regions across the country. Many businesses are moving away from traditional phone lines and switching to cloud-based systems that bring calls, messages, and video together in one place.
Paid Zoom users can add Zoom Phone as an optional feature to their existing plan. It works alongside a contact centre platform and Zoom Workplace. There's also an AI assistant that creates quick summaries after calls, pulls out tasks from voicemails, and sorts important messages.
Along with Zoom Phone, Zoom has launched a Contact Centre in India. This lets customers reach businesses through calls, video, social media, email, and messaging apps, all handled within Zoom's local data centres. This setup suits sectors like healthcare, government, and finance where strict rules apply.
Businesses can link Zoom Phone with the Contact Centre so their support agents can easily manage and transfer calls. Agents also get access to details like user extensions and direct numbers, helping route calls smoothly. Zoom also offers a 'Bring Your Own Carrier' option, letting companies keep their current phone providers while moving to Zoom's cloud platform. This makes switching easier and helps avoid disruption.
The Contact Centre can measure customer satisfaction and analyse call sentiment. Zoom says these tools help teams work better, support flexible working, and improve how companies connect with customers. It shows how India is shifting toward smarter, cloud-based communication systems.
Zoom Phone and Zoom Contact Centre are built to work smoothly together, helping businesses communicate better and support teams with different working styles. This integration is designed to help companies across India improve how they connect with both customers and employees, making collaboration and engagement a lot simpler in day-to-day operations.

Zoom adopts collaborative AI approach for intelligent user experiences, says India head
NEW DELHI: Zoom Communications has adopted a collaborative AI approach to deliver flexible and intelligent experiences to its customers, according to a senior company executive. 'We have adopted a unique federated AI approach. Zoom AI Companion leverages our proprietary LLMs alongside trusted industry models like those from OpenAI and Anthropic. What sets us apart is the openness — customers can even bring their own AI models, within certain technical boundaries. With our new custom AI feature, we now enable orchestration across multiple AI agents, addressing diverse needs with agility and scale,' Sameer Raje , general manager & head (India & SAARC Region), Zoom Communications, told ETTelecom in an interview. 'AI is going to simplify our lives and probably not going to take away our jobs or take away the creativity of the human element. But it's going to — at least in the near future or in the interim — make our lives much better and simpler,' he said. The company on Wednesday announced the launch of Zoom Contact Center in India, an AI-first, omnichannel contact center-as-a-service solution (CCaaS) optimised for video. The contact center will support various channels, including voice, video, virtual agents, social media, email and messaging apps. AI is transforming the future of customer engagement and Zoom Contact Center is at the forefront of that shift. 'With intelligent self-service, predictive analytics and auto-summarisation, AI is driving greater efficiency, enhancing agent productivity and elevating customer satisfaction. Customers move effortlessly across channels without needing to repeat themselves, thanks to complete interaction visibility for agents,' Raje said. According to him, this results in a unified, intelligent workflow that delivers a holistic experience, seamlessly connecting people, processes, and data beyond the traditional contact center to empower agents and drive collaboration across the organisation. Zoom's bring your own carrier (BYOC) capabilities will allow businesses to retain their existing public switched telephone network (PSTN) service provider while routing voice traffic through the Zoom contact center cloud. The company also announced expansion of Zoom Phone service to four major metro telecom circles in India — Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Karnataka (Bengaluru) and Andhra Pradesh & Telangana (Hyderabad), after securing necessary license from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT). This service is already available in the Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu (Chennai) circles. The US-listed cloud communication solutions provide plans to bring Zoom Phone to additional telecom circles across India, accelerating its commitment to make AI-first modern telephony available to more organisations.
