Spark Eighteen acquires Voice AI startup JAM to strengthen AI capabilitie
Share Share ShareShare

Mumbai: Spark Eighteen has announced the acquisition of JAM (Just A Moment), a Voice AI company focused on building intelligent voice agents for real-world integrations, as it strengthens its capabilities in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

Founded by Aayush Narang, Spark Eighteen operates as a global technology partner with over 200 engineers, building digital products for startups and enterprises across the US and other markets. Through Spark Eighteen Studio, the company incubates and scales internal products, while its investment arm, Aay Capital, backs early-stage ventures aligned with its broader vision.

JAM, founded by Ashish Khurana and Akshay Dewan—both early team members at Zomato and Hyperpure—has built expertise in deploying scalable, human-like voice AI systems across customer support, operations, and workflow automation use cases.

As part of the transaction, Akshay Dewan has joined Spark Eighteen as Vice President of Product & Business Operations, bringing experience in product strategy, business operations, and financial management. Co-founder Ashish Khurana will exit the company following the completion of the deal.

The acquisition marks a strategic move by Spark Eighteen to deepen its AI capabilities, particularly in voice interfaces. JAM will now operate under Spark Eighteen Studio, the company’s venture-building arm focused on incubating and scaling new products.

Aayush Narang,

Commenting on the development, Aayush Narang, Founder of Spark Eighteen, said “Voice is emerging as a dominant interface in how businesses interact with customers and systems. JAM brings a strong foundation in this space, and together we aim to accelerate the adoption of intelligent, scalable voice solutions globally.”

Ashish Khurana, Co-founder of JAM added, “we’ve always believed voice AI will fundamentally reshape user experiences in the tech and digital space in the years to come. By joining Spark Eighteen we are set to scale and strengthen capabilities, talent as well as a launchpad to build and deploy faster across global markets.”

With this acquisition, Spark Eighteen continues to double down on AI-led innovation, integrating product engineering, venture building, and strategic investments into a unified ecosystem aimed at driving next-generation digital solutions.
