Deepgram to deepen support across APAC, where it serves customers in more than 20 markets; names former Salesforce leader Sriram Ved to lead the region

SINGAPORE, August 18, 2026--Deepgram, the real-time AI infrastructure company underpinning the Voice AI economy, announced plans to establish its Asia-Pacific headquarters in Singapore, deepening its commitment to a region where the company is already seeing strong demand for production-grade Voice AI. Deepgram has appointed Sriram Ved as Vice President and General Manager for APAC who will lead the company's regional strategy and oversee its customer, partner, and go-to-market expansion.

Deepgram saw a 96% year-over-year increase in API requests across APAC and today serves customers across more than 20 markets in the region, including Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. From Singapore, the company plans to bring regional leadership, customer support, partnerships, and commercial operations closer to customers across the region, build on its existing speech-to-text expertise and support across Asian languages, and expand its low-latency inference footprint.

The move follows a strategic investment from EDBI, an arm of SG Growth Capital, the investment platform of EDB and Enterprise Singapore, as part of an extension to Deepgram's US$130 million Series C funding. EDBI will also support Deepgram as it establishes a presence in Singapore and builds commercial relationships and regional operations across APAC.

Companies are moving Voice AI into high-volume, customer-facing operations spanning contact centers, financial services, healthcare, telecommunications, and commerce in APAC. As deployments scale, enterprises need infrastructure that can perform reliably across languages, accents, and noisy environments while meeting strict requirements for latency, cost, privacy, and data control.

Deepgram plans to deepen its regional investment in three core areas:

  • Customer and partner support: Expand its regional leadership, customer support, partnerships, and commercial operations, bringing these teams and capabilities closer to customers across APAC.

  • Asian-language capabilities: Build on Deepgram's existing speech-to-text support for all four of Singapore's official languages: English, Mandarin Chinese, Malay, and Tamil, while deepening its expertise in Asian languages, accents, and speech patterns, including multilingual interactions, code-switching, and specialized terminology. Deepgram's broader speech-to-text portfolio currently supports Japanese, Hindi, Thai, Cantonese, and several Indic languages and regional variants.

  • Low-latency, flexible deployment: Work toward a broader low-latency inference footprint across APAC while continuing to offer cloud, virtual private cloud, self-hosted, and on-premises deployments that help enterprises meet regional requirements around privacy, data control, and data residency.
