Bubble Motion eyes deals for talking SMSs

Bubble Motion, the global leader in voice short message services, is planning to further expand operations and employee strength in India.

The company has already inked a deal with Bharti Airtel, and is in talks with other leading mobile operators to provide its unique 'talking SMSs' service, a voice-based alternative to the conventional type-and-read messages.

The company recently secured $20 million from Sequoia Capital for its expansion plans, and will utilise it to set up a corporate office and hiring research and development talent in the country, Sunil Coushik, co-founder and president of Bubble Motion, said.
