SpeakX for Business

SpeakX is an AI spoken-English learning company based in Gurugram, India, operated by Ivypods Technology Pvt. Ltd. It teaches learners in their own language and gradually shifts the conversation into English, addressing the gap between written English and confident speaking at work.

SpeakX for Business sells the mobile app to organisations. Learners practise with an AI coach on their phones and administrators track practice, engagement and fluency in a dashboard. Courses are customised to an organisation's roles, for example hospital staff, college placement cells, BPO, banking and retail, with support in 25+ Indian languages.

• AI speaking coach: unlimited private practice with word-by-word feedback.
• Adaptive lessons: content adjusts to each learner's level.
• Role-based courses: scenarios customised to an organisation's workflows.
• Native-language support: explanations in 25+ Indian languages.
• Admin dashboard: real-time practice, engagement and fluency tracking.
• Simple onboarding: login by registered mobile number, no system integration.

Hospitality, retail and BPO companies in Vietnam can train frontline staff in customer conversations. Universities can run interview and group-discussion practice through placement offices. Hospital groups can train nurses and front-desk staff for international patients.

Organisations can train frontline staff in spoken English without classrooms or laptops, since learners log in with a mobile number. Admin dashboards show practice and fluency in real time. A Cloudnine Hospitals case on the page reports fluency rising from 4.8 to 7.2 in four weeks across 700+ staff. Pricing is per learner with no setup fees and a 5-learner minimum.

Employers across Asia are investing in workplace English for customer-facing and frontline staff, and mobile-first AI speaking practice lowers the cost of training at scale. The model of coaching in the learner's own language before moving to English is relevant to Vietnam and Southeast Asia, where many workers need practical spoken English.
