Why Thali

No forex, no friction

Pay in rupees by UPI or card. An invoice on every top-up, and no forex markup on the way.

One API, every model

OpenAI-compatible endpoint with model fallback, provider routing and automatic failover built in.

Residency when it matters

A dedicated India-hosted tier for workloads that cannot leave the country. Zero prompt retention everywhere.

Honest metering

Every response names the backend that served it. Every request's exact cost is queryable. No silent substitutions.

Run an inference service?

Set your price, serve from anywhere — Indian datacentres earn a residency badge — and settle monthly in rupees.
