Chirag Kulkarni and His Passion for Artificial Intelligence

Chirag Kulkarni continues to translate his passion for artificial intelligence in his business ventures. As a serial Internet entrepreneur, his most successful venture so far is Insightfully, a technology company that utilizes cross-platform search and predictive analytics in creating a more integrated and robust network for its clients.

Insightfully uses its clients’ social context in discovering where their resources and skillsets can be used to assist others and, in the process, become more effectively and efficiently engaged with their professional networks. Basically, each client’s network including Facebook and Twitter are synched into a central database where the company’s proprietary algorithm are used in predicting what the network has been doing and where the client can be valuable. The engagement platform is currently most popular among enterprise employees and micro-communities for this reason.

Kulkarni is the co-founder and chief executive officer of Insightfully. He co-founded the technology company with Ajay Saini and Jingyu Li on 27 March 2015 when they were fresh graduates of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

As proof of Insightfully’s innovative software, the company was recognized as a "2015 Startup to Watch" during the Canadian Internet marketing conference. Insightfully was recognized as one of the 10 companies to watch out for in 2016 according to the Huffington Post; one of the social media tools in the future by Inc.com; and one of 6 companies that investors should pay attention to in 2016 according to Tech Cocktail.

Aside from Insightfully, Kulkarni has also founded and led other business ventures. He was also a co-founder and CEO of STR, a tennis racquet stringing venture focused on both business-to-business and business-to-consumer markets. He was a co-founder and chief financial officer of an iOS strategic networking application known as Mingle.

He was also the founder of C&M Group, a consulting firm that provided expert assistance in product innovation and business growth to the startups in Fortune 500 companies’ investment portfolios. One of its most prominent clients is Berkshire Hathaway.

Kulkarni is indeed a widely respected thought leader and expert in the industry especially in terms of sales, marketing, and business strategy.
