By MYBRANDBOOK
Capillary Technologies today announced that Co-founder and CEO Aneesh Reddy will transition to the role of Vice Chairman and Managing Director, and Sameer Garde, presently a Capillary Technologies Board Member and Independent Director, will become the Chief Executive Officer, effective from January 1st, 2023. Aneesh Reddy will continue in the Board of Capillary Technologies Ltd and guide the leadership team. Sameer will report to the Board of Capillary Technologies.
“It has been a great ride at Capillary over the last 14 years. During this time, we became one of the first SaaS companies in India to penetrate not only India but the wider Asian market, and also had the privilege to serve some of the largest customers globally, attracting marque investors along the way. I am delighted to welcome Sameer to take on the mantle from me,” said Aneesh Reddy.
This change comes at a time when the multi-vertical consumer loyalty management space has grown rapidly and is now estimated to be over US$10Bn. With an impending IPO and aspirations to build Capillary into a world leader in the space, Sameer will contribute towards fulfilling these ambitions by building a company that delivers predictable growth profitably and constantly whilst also exceeding customer and partner expectations.
“Capillary Technologies is a market leader in the loyalty and engagement space and has been acknowledged by leading industry analysts and Fortune 500 customers globally. I have now been involved with Capillary for nearly a year as an independent board member. Having worked closely with Aneesh and his team, it is a privilege to take on this leadership role within the company. I look forward to providing the guidance and vision for this new chapter in Capillary’s story,” said Sameer Garde.
