Voice agents are replacing IVRs faster than chatbots replaced forms

Context: A BFSI operations worker says nearly every large call center they talk to has replaced, or plans to replace, its IVR with a voice agent.

From r/indianstartups: I work in BFSI operations and in the last year almost every large call center I’ve talked to has either replaced their IVR or is planning to like with a voice agent that just picks up and talks.
