Overview
Kaleyra is a global CPaaS provider with strong presence in India, Italy, and the Americas, focused on SMS, voice, and WhatsApp Business messaging. In 2024, Tata Communications completed the acquisition of Kaleyra, folding it into Tata's broader DIGO communications platform. Kaleyra continues to operate as a brand but is now part of a much larger carrier-scale parent.
