Friendly Voices
For Indian customer facing work the deciding factor is not tone but language. These voices switch between Hindi and English mid sentence, which reads as considerably more natural than either alone.

VOICES FOR THIS USE CASE
No tone field to filter on
The catalog has no tone field, so friendliness cannot be filtered and these voices were chosen by listening. Stating that plainly is more useful than presenting an inferred shortlist as a filtered one. Audition all six before deciding, since nothing documents the differences between them.
The one control available
Speed, from 0.5 to 2.0, is the only delivery control. There is no tone or emotion parameter, so a voice cannot be softened after generation. A setting slightly below 1.0 reads as less rushed, which in support contexts often reads as friendlier.
Code-switching sounds friendlier in India
For Indian customer facing work, the more consequential factor is not tone but language. Voices in the Indic family switch between Hindi and English mid sentence, which is how people actually speak and tends to read as considerably more natural than either language used strictly alone.
Where it matters most
Customer support, onboarding and confirmations are the usual contexts. Nine voices carry the Voice Agent tag and 195 the broader conversational tag, which is the pool worth starting from. As always the test is your own scripts rather than sample text.
