According to Ravinutala, Yellow.ai plans to go public in the US by 2026 or 2027, when the market is anticipated to bounce back from the present cyclical slowdown. This year, the company hopes to earn a profit.In terms of platform ARR (annual recurring revenue), Q4 (the quarter that ended in January) is the biggest quarter we have ever had for India, and the country is also leading in terms of the adoption of GenAI on the Yellow.ai platform, according to Ravinutala.The business anticipates a more than 60% growth in the Indian market the next year, with $20–30 million in revenue from the country and a $60–70 million run rate for worldwide revenue overall.

In early 2023, the corporation made around 13% of its personnel reductions. Approximately 570 of its 680 employees are based in India. "We don't see this (employee strength) going to 1,000–2,000 over the next few years," stated Ravinutala.
