Siri is the hilarious virtual personal assistant the World can’t seem to get enough of. Launched with Apple iPhone 4S as it’s “coolest feature,” Siri became famous overnight for her quirky replies.


But a few, maybe the die hard Siri fans knew of its origin.

The voice of Siri initially belonged to 67 year old Susan Bennet from Atlanta, USA and was developed for a research institute SRI International based in Menlo Park. Bennet spent 4 hours a day, five days a week, recording and building a bank of words with the voice recording company GM Voices in 2005.

Usually, voice artists aren’t informed where and how their voices would be used, therefore, she had no idea that her voice would feature in an iPhone someday. While Susan Bennet was the voice behind Siri in the USA, Jon Briggs gave voice to Siri for the British market and Karen Jacobson was the voice for Australia. Susan Bennet now uses her voice for public speaking forums besides doing voice overs.

SRI International launched Siri in the Apple’s App Store in 2010 and was later made an offer for Siri by Steve Jobs and Dag Kittlaus. Siri’s voice was later changed in 2013 with the iOS 7 update with new voices used.

Apple has neither confirmed nor denied whether Susan Bennet among others is the original voice of Siri, and Siri dutifully takes you to a couple of links off of the Internet.

New Instagram Features Let Users Customize Profiles and Share Quietly

Published

on

Instagram Grid

Instagram is rolling out two major features in June 2025 that promise to give users unprecedented creative control and privacy: grid rearranging and silent posting. The long-awaited grid rearranging tool allows users to freely drag and drop posts anywhere on their profile grid, breaking away from the traditional chronological order. This means users can now curate their profiles for a more visually appealing or thematic presentation, without the hassle of deleting and reposting content—an update especially welcomed by brands, creators, and anyone meticulous about their digital aesthetic.


In tandem, Instagram is introducing the “Post quietly to profile” feature, which lets users add photos and videos to their grid without notifying followers or pushing the content to their feeds. This silent posting option is ideal for those who want to document moments privately, experiment with new content, or maintain a cohesive grid without spamming their audience. It’s designed to reduce the pressure of public sharing, making Instagram a more comfortable space for personal expression and experimentation.

 

These updates reflect Instagram’s commitment to user empowerment and flexibility, responding directly to years of feedback. As Instagram head Adam Mosseri stated, the goal is to help users “create and share without added pressure,” giving them more freedom over how their content appears and how they engage with their audience.

Zepto Delays IPO to Focus on Profitability and Indian Ownership

Published

on

Zepto - StartupStories

Overview

Zepto, a leading quick commerce startup, has postponed its planned IPO to early 2026, shifting its focus to achieving profitability and increasing Indian shareholding before going public.

Key Reasons for Delay

  • Profitability Focus: Zepto aims to reach EBITDA break-even before listing, unlike many tech firms that went public while still loss-making.
  • Market Uncertainty: Ongoing global and domestic market volatility influenced the decision to wait for more stable conditions.
  • Peer Comparison: The company wants to present a stronger profit profile, learning from the performance of rivals like Swiggy and Zomato (now Eternal).

Boosting Domestic Shareholding

  • Target: Zepto plans to raise Indian ownership to at least 51% to comply with FDI norms and reinforce its Indian identity.
  • Actions: The company is conducting secondary share sales to Indian investors and founders are increasing their stakes by buying from foreign investors.
  • Progress: Domestic ownership has reached about 40-44%, with expectations to surpass 51% before the IPO.

Financial and Operational Updates

  • Efficiency Drive: Zepto is optimizing operations, running over 900 dark stores and offering 48,000 SKUs, to reduce cash burn and move toward profitability.
  • Challenges: The company faces stiff competition from Swiggy Instamart and Blinkit, leading to higher costs, and has dealt with operational pauses and regulatory scrutiny in some regions.

Outlook

Zepto remains positive about its future, aiming to raise around $800 million in its IPO and attract both domestic and international investors. CEO Aadit Palicha emphasizes building a sustainable, majority Indian-owned business before entering the public market.

Summary: Zepto’s IPO delay reflects a strategic focus on financial stability and regulatory compliance, with profitability and Indian ownership at the forefront.
