Gupshup brings on board Krishna Tammana as CTO

Global conversational engagement platform Gupshup has appointed Krishna Tammana as its chief technology officer (CTO). Tammana will lead technology strategy, engineering and integration, supporting the firm's product-led growth and market expansion.

“Our strong growth has been built on the foundation of heavy investment in product and engineering," said Beerud Sheth, co-founder and CEO, Gupshup. “As we gear up for the next phase of growth, I am excited to welcome Krishna, a seasoned tech veteran from Silicon Valley. He brings deep expertise in building high-scale products and extensive experience in managing high-performing tech teams.”

Tammana has two decades of experience in IT infrastructure (cloud and on-prem environments), data architecture, security and SaaS. Previously, he was the CTO of Talend, a data integration and management company, where he led product management, engineering, and cloud operations. He has also led large global engineering teams in hyper-growth environments at Splunk, E*TRADE and Sybase.


“We are on the cusp of another fundamental shift in how the world leverages mobile technology. Gupshup is uniquely positioned to help many more brands reach and engage with a much broader customer base more effectively," said Tammana.

The company operates in India, Latin America, eastern Europe, southeast Asia, the Middle East and the United States. It is valued at $1.4 billion, and raised $340 million last year from Tiger Global, Fidelity Management and Research, and other marquee global investors.
