Sell to U.S. companies from India, without working U.S. hours
A US workday, coast to coast, runs from early evening to dawn in India. Pitaya’s AI agent calls your US prospects in their own working hours, from a local US number, while you sleep. In the morning you have the transcripts, the warm leads and the meetings it booked.
- Calls in each prospect’s own time zone
- Local US numbers, $2 a month
- Pay per minute in US dollars
Hold queue: "Please hold while I try and connect your call."
Prospect Northgate Alarm, how may I help you?
Agent (AI) Hello, this is Alex Rivera. I'm an AI assistant calling for Dragonfruit AI. Could I get your name, and ask if you handle new product lines or partnerships there?
Prospect Uh, my name's Mike, and possibly. It depends what we're trying to do.
Agent (AI) Hi Mike. We help alarm dealers add video AI on their customers’ existing cameras, so you can offer intrusion and shoplifting detection as a service. Do you handle partnerships like that?
Prospect Yeah, it's me.
Agent (AI) Great. Are you the right person to send a one-page partner overview to?
Prospect It'd be me.
Agent (AI) What's the best email for you?
From Dragonfruit AI’s own outreach on Pitaya. Names, companies and emails changed; lightly trimmed.

Why calling the US from India is hard
The hours
Calling West Coast businesses means working until 5:30 or 6:30 in the morning, India time. Teams burn out, and calls slip.
The number
Calls from an unfamiliar international number go unanswered. A local US number gets picked up.
The rules
US calling rules (consent for mobiles, do-not-call lists, calling hours, AI disclosure) are different from India’s, and mistakes are expensive.
The cost
A US-based SDR costs a full salary before the first meeting. An offshore team still has to work US hours.
Your calls go out while you sleep
Describe what you sell
A sentence or two about your product and who you want to reach. Pitaya writes the opening, the questions and the voicemail.
Upload your US list
A CSV of businesses and phone numbers. Duplicates, mobiles without consent and do-not-call numbers are skipped.
It calls in their hours
Each contact is called inside the window you set, in their own time zone, from a local US number.
Read the results in the morning
Every call recorded and transcribed, with a summary, the details captured and a list of warm leads to follow up.
What you would set up
Pitaya writes a campaign like this from a sentence about your business. You can change any line in plain English.
- Goal
- Reach whoever looks after IT and book a 15-minute call with our US team.
- Opening line
- “Hi, this is Sam calling for Brightline IT. We help small offices keep their IT running without a full-time admin. Who looks after IT there?”
- Instructions
- Ask for the person who looks after IT by role, then their name.
- One question at a time: how many people in the office, and who they call when something breaks.
- If they are interested, offer two times for a 15-minute call.
- Never promise prices; say the team will send them.
An example with a made-up company. The agent adds the AI disclosure itself.
Pay as you go, billed per second
Billed in US dollars by card, prepaid: top up from $5. Nobody answering costs nothing, so a slow night on the phones costs very little.
Add credit, and calls draw it down. Switch on auto top-up and campaigns never pause.
- Talk time, inbound and outbound
- $0.15 a minute, billed per second
- Each answered call
- At least 30 seconds ($0.075)
- Calls that ring out, are busy or fail
- Free
- Local US phone numbers
- $2 a month each
- Monthly fee, seats, contract

New accounts get $1 of credit, and your agent calls your own phone three times free. A card is needed only when you add credit.

- ✓Calling hours in each lead’s time zone

On a typical day of our own cold calls, 500 dials came to about $45: most answered calls are short voicemails and front desks.
How Pitaya keeps your calls within the rules
- The agent says it is an AI at the start of every call (in its opening line or its first reply), and that the call is recorded. If anyone asks, it says so again.
- Every number’s line type is checked before the first call: business lines and landlines are called; mobiles only when the contact’s consent is on file.
- “Don’t call me again” goes on your workspace’s do-not-call list at once, for every campaign.
- Calls go out only inside the hours and days you set, in each contact’s own time zone.
- Your part: consent where it is needed, and checking residential numbers against the National Do Not Call Registry. Pitaya is for calling businesses; it is not for calling consumers without consent.
- Verified caller ID (the carriers’ SHAKEN/STIR check, which keeps your calls from showing up as “Spam Likely”) needs a US company: an EIN, a US address and a US phone number for the person signing. Many founders outside the US already have one, such as a Delaware LLC or C-corp. Without it you can still call, up to 50 calls a day, from numbers that are not verified.

Questions
Can I use Pitaya from India? +
Yes. Sign up, buy a US number, pay by card in US dollars and run campaigns from anywhere. The calls go to US businesses.
Do I need a US company? +
Not to start. Without one you can make up to 50 calls a day. Verified caller ID, which lifts that limit and keeps calls from being labelled as spam, needs a US company with an EIN, a US address and a US phone number for the representative.
Will it sound like an Indian call center? +
No. The agent speaks natural US English. It also says it is an AI at the start of every call: it never pretends to be a person in the US.
Can I hear it before signing up? +
The live demo calls US and Canadian mobiles. From India, sign up and talk to your agent in the browser: the first 15 minutes are free.
What does it cost? +
$0.15 a minute of conversation, billed per second, with a 30-second minimum per answered call. Calls nobody answers are free. US numbers are $2 a month. No monthly fee.
