A free, key-less AI API that any of India's 7M+ developers can call in under a minute. We give access away — and earn from the trust, compliance and infrastructure that scale on top of it.
For an Indian developer the wall isn't talent — it's the card at the door and the meter behind it. You need an international card just to start, and once you're in, every token costs money. Experiments, learning and prototypes all run a bill before they earn a rupee.
A Visa or Mastercard is mandatory to use any major AI API. UPI, RuPay and NetBanking aren't accepted — so most students and young builders are simply locked out.
Every prompt and reply is billed by the token. Just learning the API, testing prompts, or letting a demo run all burn real money — before there's any revenue.
Sign up, verify email, verify phone, add a card, mint a key. Thirty to ninety minutes of forms before a single "hello world" comes back.
Pricing is in USD, settled on a card with a bank forex markup (~3–5%) on every payment. An Indian team always pays a little more for the exact same call.
The real cost isn't the dollars — it's the ideas that never get tried because the meter is running. That is what we remove.
Paid APIs charge per token: the words you send in and the words you get back. It sounds tiny until you do the arithmetic on a product that's actually used. Here's what one modest feature costs a 3-person startup.
Figures are representative of published paid-API pricing and round for clarity; exact rates vary by model and provider.
For an early-stage Indian team, ₹25k–₹2.5L a month for one feature is the difference between testing an idea and never building it.
Cehpoint AI is a public, OpenAI-compatible API. Send JSON, get a response — no account, no card, nothing per token. A student in Patna and a startup in Bengaluru build on the same terms a funded US team does. And it's live today: every claim here is one curl command away from being checked.
# the entire integration — no key, no bill curl https://ai-api.cehpoint.co.in/v1/chat/completions \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "model": "cehpoint-ai", "messages": [ { "role": "user", "content": "Summarise GST for a CA student" } ] }'
The same free, key-less endpoint visits sites, audits them and runs authorized security checks. One API quietly replaces a stack of paid tools — and gives us paid surfaces a pure chat API doesn't have.
Active web scans — SQLi, XSS, IDOR, JWT — on domains a user has verified they own. Background jobs, SARIF/JSON/HTML reports, AI triage.
Paid: Pro plansVisits any live page and scores title, meta, headings, canonical, Open Graph, schema, robots & sitemap — graded, with prioritised fixes.
Growth toolwhois, DNS, certificate-transparency subdomains and reachable-port checks on authorized targets. Private and internal ranges always blocked.
Built inCehpoint AI scans other AI models for jailbreaks, prompt injection & data leakage — with a branded security report. A brand-new market as every company ships its own LLM.
Paid: researchersA Researcher licence programme lets vetted bug-bounty hunters scan authorized targets at scale — turning a free chat into a security platform with its own paying, self-policing community.
India's AI demand isn't a forecast on a slide — it's a national budget line. The country is actively paying to build the exact infrastructure category we sit in.
A five-year national allocation (2024–2029) for India-native AI compute, datasets and applications — actively disbursing.
The world's second-largest developer community, growing faster than any other and projected to take the top spot by 2027.
India's AI market is compounding at 29–35% a year — among the fastest-growing software segments anywhere in the world.
The DPDP Act 2023 makes data localisation a legal requirement for regulated sectors. That turns "India-resident AI" from a nice-to-have into a compliance mandate — and a paying one.
Free access is the distribution engine, not the product. We monetise the layer enterprises actually pay for — compliance, sovereignty, licensing and the network we build. Four streams, none of them dependent on token margins.
DPDP-aligned compliance, audit logs, India-resident data and SLA uptime — sold as an annual enterprise subscription.
Primary revenueWhite-label and on-premise deployments for departments and public-sector firms that can't use a shared endpoint.
High-ticketCompanies pay for curated access to developers with proven projects on the platform. Hiring meets real traction.
Network effectOffline AI and a 22-language voice gateway open paying verticals — rural fintech, healthcare, education — global players can't reach.
ExpansionIt's the Jio playbook for intelligence: give the core away at scale, monetise the value layer on top. Distribution comes first, revenue compounds behind it.
This isn't four pitches stapled together. It's a single flywheel: each group's gain feeds the next, and the loop tightens itself over time.
Free access builds a developer base at zero cost. They embed the API at work, their employers become enterprise leads, and trust subscriptions turn those leads into revenue — with no sales team in the middle.
They switch off the per-token meter and the forex markup that came with it, ship AI features in minutes instead of an afternoon, and resell AI products built on infrastructure that costs them nothing.
15% of enterprise revenue flows back to the developers who write use cases, translate docs and build templates. Contribute work that lands a contract, share in what it earns. The first AI dividend of its kind in India.
Developer lock-in compounds switching cost, enterprise ARR grows, and a government mandate underwrites demand. The exit paths — strategic acquisition, growth round, or public listing — get more valuable as the loop spins.
A global lab can match our model in a quarter. What they can't match in a quarter is UPI billing, India-resident data, regional-language docs, and a community that earns from the platform. Those take years and a different company DNA.
The API isn't the product; it's the front door to a live AI-security suite already in users' hands. This round accelerates a roadmap a global lab structurally can't chase — offline, multilingual, on-device India.
Free AI API & chat, a web vulnerability scanner, an LLM red-team engine, researcher licences with public verification, and a self-serve dashboard with API keys & scheduled jobs — all live now, not roadmap.
Run the model on-device with no internet — rural schools, clinics and low-connectivity India, a market global APIs structurally cannot serve.
Real-time speech AI across India's 22 scheduled languages, plus shared sessions where teams build together — voice reach and network effects.
The platform is already shipped and in users' hands — the round funds the moat-deepening roadmap above: offline reach, language coverage and team-level network effects.
We're raising a $500K innovation round to fund the three products above. Cheques start small and scale to leading the round. And money is only one way in — distribution, infrastructure and institutional partners are just as welcome.
