Kapture CX, an agentic artificial intelligence platform for customer experience, has appointed Kruti Khandelwal as Vice President–Marketing, as the company prepares for its next phase of growth in India and international markets.

Khandelwal will oversee the company's full marketing charter, covering brand, content, product marketing, public relations, partner marketing, events and demand generation. The appointment was announced on 29 September 2026.

Kapture CX serves more than 1,000 enterprise customers across 18 countries and has achieved profitability with a business built primarily around India, a combination that is relatively rare among Indian software-as-a-service companies. The decision to consolidate marketing under a single senior leader signals that the company sees brand and market positioning as central to its international ambitions, at a time when the category it competes in is being transformed by AI.

A broad mandate

Khandelwal's remit spans the full range of modern business-to-business marketing. Brand and content will shape how Kapture CX presents itself to enterprise buyers who are being approached by a growing number of AI vendors. Product marketing will translate technical capabilities into clear value propositions for customer service leaders, chief information officers and operations heads. Public relations and events will build visibility in new markets, while partner marketing will support the systems integrators and technology partners that often influence enterprise buying decisions.

Demand generation, the process of creating and nurturing sales opportunities, is arguably the most critical piece for a company entering new geographies. Enterprise software sales cycles are long, and success depends on building awareness and credibility well before a prospect is ready to buy. Consolidating these functions under one leader can help ensure consistency between the brand promise, the product message and the sales pipeline.

Why marketing leadership matters now

The customer experience software market is in the middle of a significant shift. For years, companies in the space competed on ticketing systems, omnichannel support desks and workflow automation. Generative AI and agentic systems are changing that. Businesses increasingly expect software not only to route customer queries to the right human agent, but to resolve many queries autonomously, from answering questions about orders to processing refunds and updating accounts.

This shift has opened the market to a flood of new entrants, from AI-native startups to large technology companies embedding agents into their platforms. In such a crowded field, differentiation is harder. Features that once took years to build can now be developed in months. As a result, trust, category positioning and customer proof have become more important competitive assets, and they are precisely the areas a senior marketing leader is expected to strengthen.

Kapture CX's position

Kapture CX's profitability gives it an unusual advantage. Many AI companies are spending heavily to acquire customers, funded by venture capital. A profitable company can invest in growth from its own cash flows and is less exposed to swings in funding markets. It can also present itself to enterprise buyers as a stable, long-term partner, an important consideration for customers wary of entrusting critical customer interactions to vendors whose future is uncertain.

The company's India-first base is also relevant. Indian enterprises operate at high volumes, across many languages and channels, and often with cost constraints that demand efficient solutions. Platforms that succeed in this environment can build capabilities, such as multilingual support and high-volume automation, that are valuable in other emerging markets in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa, as well as in developed markets.

“In enterprise AI, the product can be copied faster than ever. Trust, positioning and a clear story are becoming the harder assets to build.”

The wider trend in enterprise AI

Kapture CX's appointment comes during a busy week for agentic AI in India's enterprise sector. On the same day, Melento, formerly known as SignDesk, announced a partnership with Gnani AI to integrate voice AI with agentic orchestration for regulated industries such as banking, insurance and pharmaceuticals. IBM and Yotta Data Services launched a sovereign agentic AI platform for Indian organisations. HCLTech published research showing that 84% of global wealth management firms believe their operating models require fundamental redesign to realise the potential of AI.

Together, these developments point to a market that is moving rapidly from experimentation to deployment. For vendors, the challenge is to convince customers that their agents can operate reliably, securely and in compliance with regulations. That requires technology, but also clear communication about capabilities, limitations and safeguards, which is increasingly a marketing responsibility.

Women leading growth functions

The appointment also reflects a gradual but visible shift in the leadership of India's technology companies. Women have increasingly taken on senior roles in marketing, product, finance and operations across Indian SaaS and consumer technology firms, even as representation at the very top of companies and in engineering leadership remains limited.

Marketing leadership in enterprise technology has become more strategic and more data-driven. Today's marketing heads are expected to own pipeline targets, work closely with sales and product teams, and manage sophisticated analytics and automation stacks. The role has become a pathway to broader executive responsibilities, including chief operating officer and chief executive positions.
## Selling AI to cautious buyers

Enterprise buyers of customer experience technology have good reason to be cautious. Customer interactions shape brand reputation, and errors made by an AI agent, whether a wrong refund, an inaccurate answer or an inappropriate tone, can quickly become public. Regulated industries face additional obligations around data protection, record-keeping and fair treatment of customers.

Marketing in this environment requires a careful balance. Overpromising can damage credibility once customers encounter the limits of the technology, while underselling can leave a company lost among louder competitors. Successful vendors increasingly rely on case studies with measurable results, transparent explanations of how their systems handle edge cases, and clear guidance on where humans remain in the loop.

What to watch

For Kapture CX, the coming months will reveal how it intends to use its strengthened marketing function. Key questions include which international markets it will prioritise, how it will position its agentic AI capabilities against larger rivals, and whether it will pursue a more visible brand presence through events, analyst relations and thought leadership.

For Khandelwal, the task is to turn a strong operational foundation, profitability, a large customer base and a presence in 18 countries, into a brand that stands out in one of the most competitive categories in enterprise software.

The appointment is a reminder that, in the age of AI, the companies that win will not only be those with the best technology. They will be those that can explain what their technology does, why customers should trust it, and how it delivers measurable results. In a market full of noise, that clarity may prove to be the most valuable product of all.
