New Delhi: MaxIQ, an AI-driven revenue platform backed by Dell Technologies Capital and Intel Capital, has appointed Sastry Malladi as its Chief Technology Officer (CTO). The appointment comes as the startup scales its AI capabilities after securing $7.8 million in funding.
Experienced Leader to Drive AI Innovation
With over three decades in technology leadership, Malladi will oversee MaxIQ’s product and engineering teams. He will work closely with CEO Matt Hickey and founder Sonny Aulakh to enhance the company’s Revenue AI platform, which aims to streamline sales and customer success processes for B2B SaaS enterprises.
Malladi co-founded FogHorn Systems, a company specializing in Edge AI, and has held key roles at eBay and Oracle, where he managed global engineering teams. His expertise in AI and enterprise software is expected to shape MaxIQ’s approach to sales forecasting, customer onboarding, and revenue expansion.
MaxIQ’s Focus on Revenue AI
MaxIQ’s platform integrates Sales, Customer Success, and Revenue Operations (RevOps) into a single system, aiming to improve forecasting accuracy and customer lifecycle management. By addressing challenges like disconnected sales tools and fragmented customer data, the startup seeks to provide businesses with a unified approach to revenue growth.
AI Expansion Plans Under New Leadership
As CTO, Malladi will lead the development of MaxIQ’s “Agentic AI” capabilities, designed to automate and optimize sales processes. His appointment signals the company’s focus on AI-driven solutions to improve customer retention and business growth.
“Today’s revenue teams operate in silos, leading to missed opportunities. With Revenue AI, we can bridge this gap and create a more connected approach to customer success,” Malladi said.
MaxIQ’s latest leadership move reflects its broader strategy to strengthen AI-driven business solutions at a time when SaaS enterprises are increasingly adopting automation to drive revenue.
