A Method for Enabling Insolvent Calling Subscriber to Connect with Called Subscriber
Earlier title: Method for Enabling Insolvent Calling Subscriber to Connect or Communicate with Called Subscriber, Providing Talk-Time Advance and Various Recharge Options

Patent no.
397531
Status
Granted — Closed
Granted Indian patent covering a telecom value-added services mechanism that allows a calling subscriber with insufficient prepaid balance — an "insolvent calling subscriber" in the regulatory language of the time — to still connect with a called subscriber. The system provides a talk-time advance and offers the calling subscriber a set of recharge options to restore balance during or immediately after the call.
The invention falls in the broader telecom VAS category that powered an entire generation of pre-LTE consumer telephony in India and adjacent markets, where carrier-grade subscriber-balance management at scale required mechanisms that didn't simply drop the call when a balance went below threshold. Filed during the period Vikas Goel was leading engineering at blackNgreen.

Status
Pending · Form 18
Pending Indian patent application covering an AI-driven context-aware voicemail assistant system — work on next-generation voice AI assistants that move beyond conventional voicemail into contextual, conversational, agent-grade response.
The invention sits in the same engineering lineage as the production work at Nexiva — voice AI built to handle inbound interaction with sub-second latency and enterprise-grade reliability across multiple regions.
Form 18 (Request for Examination) deadline: 26 September 2027.

Self-Evolving AI Agent Evaluation Criteria Mechanism (ThinkerWave)
Application no.
202611044024
Filed
April 2026
Status
Pending
Pending Indian patent application filed by Thinkerwave AITech Private Limited covering a self-evolving AI agent mechanism. The invention addresses a structural gap in production AI: the system's capabilities can evolve, but its definition of success usually can't. The mechanism allows both the agent's identity and its evaluation criteria to mutate generationally while accumulated knowledge persists across complete identity replacement.
The work is part of the broader Sovereign AI research line at ThinkerWave, and directly underpins the AI Agent Architecture framework developed for enterprise production.

The pattern across these three patents
The first is a telecom value-added services mechanism from the era when India's mobile penetration was reshaping consumer telephony. The second is an AI-driven voicemail assistant from the moment voice systems began crossing from rule-based to model-driven. The third is an AI agent architecture mechanism from the era when AI is reshaping enterprise software itself. Ten years, three domains — but all three target the same structural question: how do you make a system continue to work when the conditions underneath it change?
The three patents together describe the actual arc of an operator-engineer's career through the technological shifts of the last decade — telecom VAS, voice AI, AI agents. They are not isolated curiosities; they are the inventor record behind the work shipped at blackNgreen, Nexiva, and ThinkerWave.
