Antuit.ai names Siva Lakshmanan and Yogesh Kulkarni as joint CEOs
SaaS artificial intelligence demand forecasting solutions specialist, Antuit.ai, has appointed Sivakumar (Siva) Lakshmanan and Yogesh Kulkarni as joint CEOs.
The pair succeed Craig Silverman, who is leaving the company to take up a new position.
Kulkarni was most recently COO of the Merchandising and Marketing business unit at Antuit.ai.
Prior to that, he co-founded Prognos, a boutique retail and consumer brands focused analytics firm, which served the likes of PepsiCo, MillerCoors, Nike and adidas, supporting their price optimisation, demand forecasting and personalisation capabilities.
Lakshmanan was previously COO of AI Forecasting and Supply Chain at Antuit.ai and before that was a leader for supply chain analytics at IBM Global Consulting Group.
Neeraj Bhargava, Chairman of the Board at Antuit.ai, comments: “Siva and Yogesh have played key roles in our success as business unit leaders and co-COOs, working together for the past six years to build great AI SaaS products and attracting leading retail and CPG customers from around the world.”
“Both are heavily involved in all aspects of managing the company, so this is a logical move that will keep the focus on company growth and success.”
“We also want to thank Craig Silverman for his help transitioning Antuit.ai to a product company and positioning it for future growth.”
