Charanya "CK" Kannan is the co-founder and CEO of Pinkfish, where she's revolutionizing enterprise automation with a platform that delivers real ROI and eliminates technical debt. Before Pinkfish, CK served as Chief Product and Technology Officer at Talkdesk, where she was instrumental in scaling the company from Series A to a $10 billion valuation in just six years.

CK's vision for Pinkfish emerged from seeing enterprises invest millions in automation tools that sit underutilized while employees waste their time on manual, repetitive work. This led her to create Pinkfish's Generative Automation platform—a consolidated solution that replaces separate RPA, iPaaS, and document processing investments with one automation tool.

Under CK's leadership, Pinkfish has secured $7.6 million in funding from Norwest Venture Partners, Storm Ventures, and prominent angel investors. Her focus on enterprise-grade reliability has already attracted customers like IPSY, Elevate, Humach, and Talkdesk.
