What Shabodi does
Shabodi is a Canadian-headquartered (Mississauga) private company founded in 2020 that builds NetAware, a Network-Aware Application Enablement Platform (AEP). NetAware transforms proprietary network capabilities across LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi 6, and emerging 6G environments into standardized RESTful APIs that application developers can consume without requiring expertise in telecom protocols. The platform is modular, with distinct offerings for Mobile Network Operators (enabling network API monetization), Aggregators (providing a unified multi-operator API catalog with intelligent routing), and Enterprises (enabling network-aware applications in domains such as manufacturing, mining, airports, public sector, and financial services). Shabodi was the first to deliver an enterprise reference implementation of CAMARA APIs (February 2024) and holds GSMA Open Gateway certifications across six APIs including Device Location Verification, Device Swap, SIM Swap, Number Verification, and KYC Match.
Shabodi monetizes through platform licensing and subscription arrangements with MNOs, CSPs, and enterprises; usage-based API monetization services that help operators commercialize 5G investments; tiered support subscriptions (Basic, Premium, Premium Plus); and professional services including the Advanced Networks Training & Discovery Workshop and Cognitive Factory Workshop. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (demos booked via HubSpot), partner channels (API marketplace aggregators, private wireless providers, system integrators, network equipment providers), and a developer self-serve motion through the NetAware Application Developer Sandbox. Marketing is concentrated at major industry events including MWC Barcelona, Hannover Messe, and DTW Ignite, complemented by technical content, developer relations, and earned media coverage.
The company operates three offices across Canada (headquarters), the United States (Sandy Springs, Georgia, via Shabodi US Inc.), and India (Bengaluru engineering/R&D). Shabodi has raised approximately $13.7 million in total funding across a pre-seed ($200K, January 2021), seed (~$3.3M, December 2021, led by Blumberg Capital), and Series A ($10.3M, December 2022, co-led by CEAS Investments and SineWave Ventures). Named customers include Airbus, CIMPOR, and Booz Allen Hamilton, with a strategic partnership with GMS (Global Mobile Services) announced in March 2026 extending the platform's global aggregation footprint.

Shabodi competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Aduna: Joint venture between Ericsson, Vonage and major operators (including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, DT, Vodafone) launched specifically to aggregate and commercialize CAMARA/GSMA Open Gateway network APIs globally. Most direct head-to-head competitor to Shabodi's network API aggregation thesis.
- Alepo: Telecom software vendor offering API gateway, BSS/OSS, and digital enablement platforms for operators, including multi-vendor network exposure and developer onboarding. Comparable to Shabodi's NetAware in target buyer and use case (operators exposing network capabilities).
- MATRIXX Software: Digital commerce and monetization platform for communications service providers, enabling real-time charging, partner settlement, and API-driven product offerings. Overlaps with Shabodi's NetAware for Operators on monetization of network capabilities.
- Optiva: Provider of BSS, charging, and telecom digital platform solutions to MNOs, MVNOs and fixed-line operators, with growing focus on network API monetization and 5G charging. Comparable buyer segment and monetization theme.
Broad incumbents
- Netcracker Technology: NEC-owned BSS/OSS and digital experience vendor serving Tier-1 telcos globally, with established multi-vendor network exposure and orchestration capabilities. Larger, more established alternative for operators evaluating Shabodi's NetAware for Operators.
- Vonage (Ericsson): CPaaS and communications platform acquired by Ericsson, now core to Ericsson's network API strategy and Aduna joint venture. Competes with Shabodi on enterprise developer-facing communications APIs and fraud/identity APIs.
- Twilio: Leading CPaaS incumbent offering programmable communications APIs (SMS, voice, identity, verification). Competes with Shabodi in adjacent fraud/identity APIs (number verification, SIM swap) for enterprise developers.
- Whale Cloud: Major telecom BSS/OSS vendor (formerly ZTEsoft) serving operators globally with digital business and network exposure platforms. Comparable buyer segment and large-scale operator IT footprint.
- Hansen Technologies: Provider of billing, BSS, and customer experience software to utilities, communications and media operators. Acquired Sigma Systems; competes in operator enablement and partner monetization where Shabodi also plays.
Emerging players
- Mavenir: Open RAN and cloud-native network software vendor offering 5G core, RAN, and APIs to operators. Comparable as a multi-vendor network software challenger with overlapping developer-facing network exposure ambitions.
