AONMeetings earns recognition in 30+ G2 Spring 2026 Reports, including Asia Pacific rankings, as it targets India’s 63 million small businesses with pricing starting at ₹179/month.
By Dwight Reed, CEO & Founder, AONMeetings | February 2026
When Zoom raised its prices and locked small businesses into complicated annual contracts, Dwight Reed saw an opportunity. In 2020, from Des Moines, Iowa, he founded AONMeetings — a browser-based, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform with one core promise: professional-grade meetings without the enterprise price tag.
Five years later, AONMeetings serves over 1,000 businesses worldwide and has just been recognized in more than 30 G2 Spring 2026 Reports — including the Asia Pacific Regional Grid® and Asia Regional Grid® Reports for Video Conferencing. The timing is no accident. The company launched its dedicated India platform at India.AONMeetings.com, positioning itself squarely in one of the world’s fastest-growing digital markets.
“India’s small businesses, clinics, and schools deserve world-class video conferencing without world-class price tags. G2’s Asia Pacific recognition validates that we’re building something that genuinely works for this market.” — Dwight Reed, CEO, AONMeetings
The Problem with Existing Video Conferencing in India
India’s video conferencing market is growing at a staggering pace. With over 63 million small and medium businesses, a booming telemedicine sector, and millions of educators shifting to hybrid teaching models, the demand for reliable video tools has never been greater.
Yet the dominant platforms are not built for India’s economic reality. Zoom’s plans start at the equivalent of ₹1,040/month for basic functionality. Microsoft Teams requires Office 365 subscriptions. Google Meet’s business features demand a Workspace plan. For a doctor running a solo practice in Jaipur or a coaching institute in Patna, these costs are prohibitive.
Worse, most platforms enforce meeting time limits on free tiers, fragmenting classes and consultations mid-session. And many still require software downloads — a friction point in a market where users often switch between mobile devices.
What AONMeetings Does Differently
AONMeetings was built around three principles that resonate deeply with the Indian market: affordability, accessibility, and no compromises on compliance.
The platform is entirely browser-based. There are no downloads, no plugins, and no IT administration required. A doctor in Mumbai can invite a patient in Pune to a HIPAA-secure consultation simply by sharing a link. A teacher in Delhi can run a 90-minute JEE coaching session for 40 students without the session being cut off.
India pricing reflects the local market:
- Starter: ₹179/user/month — up to 10 participants
- Professional: ₹359/user/month — up to 25 participants
- Business: ₹629/user/month — up to 100 participants
- Enterprise: ₹1,522/user/month — up to 250 participants
Every plan includes HIPAA-compliant security, unlimited meeting time, webinar functionality, and session recording. Payment is accepted via UPI, Paytm, PayPal, and major debit and credit cards — covering virtually every payment method used by Indian businesses.
30+ G2 Reports: What Independent Recognition Means
G2 is the world’s largest software review platform, with over 90 million annual visitors and reviews from verified business users across every industry. Unlike vendor self-promotion or sponsored rankings, G2’s Grid® Reports are driven entirely by customer reviews and market presence scores.
AONMeetings’ Spring 2026 recognition spans three categories: Video Conferencing, Webinar, and Virtual Event Platforms. For Indian buyers evaluating software, these placements carry significant weight. Two reports are particularly relevant to the India launch:
- Asia Pacific Regional Grid® Report for Video Conferencing
- Asia Regional Grid® Report for Video Conferencing
The company also earned recognition in G2’s Relationship Index, Results Index, and Usability Index — the metrics that matter most to small business buyers who need a platform that works reliably from day one.
“For a buyer in India evaluating video conferencing tools, seeing a platform recognized specifically in Asia Pacific and Asia Regional G2 reports removes the guesswork. It’s third-party validation that the platform performs for teams in this region.”
A Bootstrap Story Built for the Long Game
What makes AONMeetings’ trajectory unusual in the SaaS world is that it has been built entirely without venture capital. Reed and his eight-person team have operated without salaries for five years, choosing to reinvest revenue into product development and market expansion rather than chase growth-at-all-costs metrics.
This approach has shaped a product philosophy centered on serving underserved markets. Healthcare providers who cannot afford enterprise pricing. Educators who need reliable tools without time limits. Religious organizations and nonprofits operating on tight budgets.
India represents the next chapter of that mission — a market of 1.4 billion people where the gap between what businesses need and what they can afford to pay has historically been widest.
What’s Next: India and Beyond
AONMeetings’ India strategy goes beyond pricing. The company is actively building partnerships with healthcare networks, coaching institutes, and business associations across major Indian cities. WhatsApp-based customer support, localized onboarding materials, and a free Paid Webinar Starter Kit designed specifically for Indian entrepreneurs are already live at India.AONMeetings.com.
The G2 Asia Pacific recognition arrives at a moment when Indian buyers are increasingly sophisticated about software evaluation. They are checking G2, reading reviews, and demanding platforms that have been independently validated — not just marketed to them.
For AONMeetings, that shift is precisely the opening it has been building toward.
