Manish Raj Kunwar — VP of Engineering

I believe the best marketing isn’t about running campaigns — it’s about building ecosystems that move industries forward. Over the last 18+ years, I’ve had the privilege of working with Elastic, Microsoft, AWS, SAP, and IBM — driving customer-first strategies that not only accelerated revenue but also created communities that thrive on innovation. At AWS, I spearheaded initiatives that scaled SMB cloud adoption across India and South Asia, including the launch of the Amazon Digital Suite to empower small businesses. At Microsoft, I built affinity programs that helped SMBs create end-to-end digital journeys. At SAP, I shaped a community of CFOs and CPOs to elevate procurement transformation. And now at Elastic, I’m focused on enabling enterprises and Public Sector to harness the power of Search AI for mission-critical outcomes. My leadership style is anchored in being ambitious yet humble — setting bold goals while keeping customers at the center. I believe in empowering teams with clarity and speed, simplifying complexity so that we can scale what works. To me, progress matters more than perfection, and marketing succeeds when it delivers measurable impact while building lasting trust with customers and partners. Along the way, I’ve been recognized by industry forums such as the B2B World Summit and Economic Times for innovation, ecosystem leadership, and customer impact. My strengths lie in shaping GTM strategy, revenue marketing, ecosystem growth, and CXO engagement. I share insights here on Search AI, Security, and Growth Marketing — with a focus on practical strategies that matter to business leaders.
