Nirali Amin on voice technology
From Trends in Contact Center Transformation: A Conversation with Nirali Amin from LivePerson · · Tech Mahindra
“Previously, LivePerson was quite aggressive in the market to say voice is dead about five years ago, but we've learned that the hype was that digital was going to solve it all. Customer journeys are not linear; they want to channel hop and choose the channel of their choice. Giving voice the same respect and significance allows for consistent front-end experiences and agent empowerment.”

About Nirali Amin
Nirali Amin, Senior Vice President of Solutions at LivePerson, discussed contact center transformation in a January 2025 interview. She stated that transformation involves two elements: empowering agents with tools like generative AI to drive outcomes such as revenue and retention, and ensuring a balance between customer experience and agent experience. Amin said LivePerson has moved from being a messaging and AI provider to a "system of action" that acts as a command center for brands, integrating third-party bots and large language models. Amin noted that customer journeys are no longer linear, with customers choosing channels based on their situation, such as SMS while commuting or voice at home. She said LivePerson previously promoted the idea that voice was obsolete but has since learned that digital alone does not solve all needs, and the company now aims to give voice the same tools and respect as digital channels. Amin emphasized that transformation requires combining multiple systems and frameworks, not relying on a single capability.
