Kris@Work, an AI-native go-to-market platform for enterprise sales teams, elevated three senior executives to co-founder positions on 18 June 2026. Ananta Joshi, Samanvith Reddy Balugari, and Sunil Chandra Angara now serve as co-founders alongside CEO Arun Singh, marking a shift from the original founding team to a broader leadership structure as the company scales customer deployments.
The three new co-founders bring specialized technical backgrounds to the platform's core engineering. Joshi, an IIT Bombay alumnus and former global leader at Sprinklr, will focus on product vision and AI execution architecture. Balugari, an IIT Madras alumnus with prior engineering experience at Indeed, is tasked with developing scalable AI-led engineering systems. Angara, also from IIT Madras and previously at Goldman Sachs, will oversee enterprise-grade platform scale, reliability, and performance. The company's product is a unified AI-native platform covering the full sales cycle—from initial customer contact through closed deals to expansion—addressing fragmentation across CRM and sales tools.
Kris@Work's technical approach centers on replacing disparate point solutions with a single AI-driven system orchestrating go-to-market workflows. Early customer deployments have reported performance improvements of up to 15x in specific metrics, though the company has not disclosed exact measurement criteria or timeframes. The platform's architecture appears designed to ingest data from existing CRM systems and sales tools, then apply AI models to automate lead routing, deal progression, and forecasting—reducing manual data entry and reconciliation common in enterprise sales stacks.
The announcement places Kris@Work in a competitive market for AI-powered sales platforms, where players like Gong, Outreach, and Salesforce's Einstein compete for enterprise budgets. With InfoEdge Ventures backing, the company has financial runway to scale its engineering team and pursue customer acquisition beyond initial deployments. Pricing and release schedules for general availability remain undisclosed, though the co-founder additions signal readiness to move beyond early access into broader market distribution. The leadership restructuring suggests Kris@Work is preparing for a growth phase, leveraging the newly formalized founding team's combined expertise in product strategy, engineering scalability, and enterprise reliability.
