Nijta builds AI-powered voice anonymization technology for companies that need to protect speaker privacy in recorded audio while keeping the spoken content usable. The company grew out of Inria Startup Studio, a program for researcher-entrepreneurs at Inria, France's national computer science research institute, and was formally established in December 2022 by Brij Mohan Lal Srivastava alongside Nathalie Vauquier, Seyed Ahmad Hosseini, and Emmanuel Vincent; it is based in Lille, France.
The company's flagship product, Voice Harbor, performs speech-to-speech anonymization, replacing a speaker's identifiable voiceprint with a synthetic pseudo voice while filtering personally identifiable spoken content, so a recording can still be used for training, quality assurance, or research without exposing who was speaking. Nijta has raised roughly €2 million from investors including Elaia and Finovam Gestion, plus an additional €1 million in deep-tech development aid from Bpifrance.
Nijta targets call centers, healthcare providers, and other regulated organizations that record voice data and need to comply with privacy regulation such as GDPR, rather than individual consumers. Pricing starts with a Pilot Package at €15,000 covering up to roughly 8,000 minutes of processed audio, with per-minute rates stepping down at volume from €0.27 to €0.10, available as SaaS or on-premises deployment.
