Welcome to today’s episode of the WIN podcast with Carrie Richardson.
Today we kick off our annual "EY EoY Interview Series" with 2024 EY Entrepreneur of the Year Nominee Sanjay Jupudi, co-founder and CEO of Qentelli.
Qentelli (Kwen–Tel–LEE) is a Digital and Cloud Technology Company. Their Intellectual Property includes AI based products, frameworks, methodology and process playbooks that help accelerate and deliver Digital Transformation, Cloud Adoption, DevOps and Quality Engineering solutions to our customers.
Sanjay Jupudi (along with his co-founder, Prasanna Signaruju, founded Qentelli at a Dallas based bar. Their idea was too big for the back of a napkin - they had to borrow a piece of paper from the bartender.
Starting with Sanjay's savings of around USD 50,000 to launch the business eight years ago, Sanjay and his team built Qentelli into a thriving debt-free business with a 9-figure valuation.
Sanjay launched Qentelli in his basement, while also providing care for his six year old child. Their team now exceeds 1200 employees, and their original operations and sales hires are still members of the team!
Spend some time with with Sanjay as he shares about starting a business with access to limited resources. Sanjay discusses the sales strategies they used as a team of two, and the sales and marketing tactics they rely on now to grow from 10-50% annually.
Sanjay credits his success to extensive planning and research before exploring any new offers and idea. Process and playbooks have been essential to their success.
