Milind Katti — CEO
My journey, from the vibrant fields of Karnataka to the dynamic world of tech entrepreneurship, has always been guided by one principle: nurturing goodness in business. With over two decades immersed in the tech and SaaS world, my expertise lies in strategic account management, cultivating B2B sales and marketing, and creating technologies that enhance B2B revenue. In this time, I’ve built several companies, notably co founding & leading DemandShore to grow into a 800+ strong team until its acquisition by Ziff Davis in 2018. It also gives me the opportunity to trade my tech hat for wings, becoming an occasional angel investor. Today, I am the CEO at DemandFarm. A company that I co founded with a simple question: How can we better manage and optimize strategic accounts? Alongside a fantastic team, we’ve cultivated a space that doesn’t just manage contacts and opportunities. But understands and navigates the complex world of accounts, ensuring an environment that is just right for you. To me, this translates into embodying transparency in our interactions, championing your aspirations, and forging a genuine partnership. Together we’ve grown so much over the years, earning the trust of Fortune 500 companies to manage their key accounts effectively. Specialties: B2B Account Planning Software Development Strategic Account Management Entrepreneurial Innovation & Scaling Building & Leading Teams Nurturing Startup Ecosystems I believe in being authentic, sensitive, and vulnerable in every interaction, attracting good teams, customers, and creating a stress-free environment. Always open to connecting with fellow entrepreneurs, tech enthusiasts, and anyone with a story to share.
