Description

Watch our exclusive interview with Aneesh Reddy, Founder and CEO of Capillary Technologies.

As the #AI revolution accelerates, customers increasingly expect #personalized experiences. One company right at the center of it is Capillary Technologies.

We began with Capillary’s early days, just before the 2008 financial crisis. Aneesh shared how they #navigated the tough times by focusing on #loyalty programs and helping SMBs in India - later #expanding globally to boost customer retention and growth.

From there, we explored how Capillary evolved from working primarily with #retailers to serving multiple verticals and large #enterprises, as well as the strategic decision to expand into the #US and EMEA markets.

We also discussed the broader #India’s technology #ecosystem - from an outsourcing-led industry to a global innovation #powerhouse, with strong R&D centers, application infrastructure, and increasingly, deep-tech leadership.

A major milestone for the company has been its recent #IPO (November 2025), which was #oversubscribed more than 50X. We touched on why they chose to go public in #India and the key factors behind the successful offering.

We also touched on #competition, Capillary’s Adobe partnership, and how they stand out with AI loyalty agents and rapid #SpeedToMarket.

Finally, we discussed the evolving #loyalty landscape, the #gamification of it, and Capillary Technologies’s future #expansion plans.
