Hivekind AI Acqui-hires PitchGod Team

SAN FRANCISCO - Aug. 5, 2026 - PRLog -- Hivekind Inc., the first pre-pipeline platform for autonomous demand creation for B2B, today announced the acqui-hire of the core team behind PitchGod, a Bengaluru-based AI platform for automated outbound and B2B lead generation. The deal brings in three builders with a combined GTM domain and engineering depth: Deepak Komma (full-stack, formerly PitchGod's tech lead), Vardan Agarwal (backend platform and AI lead), and Rajesh Gupta (forward-deployed engineering, and growth co-founder). Together they form Hivekind's core technical team, working with the global leadership team across the US and India.

Strategic rationale

The addition accelerates Hivekind's autonomous demand creation roadmap, helping revenue teams decide who to engage and when, upstream of pipeline creation, across sales, marketing, and channel partners. Raj Badarinath, Founder and CEO said, "This combination: people who understand how B2B revenue teams produce predictable pipeline, paired with AI-native skills, is rare and critical. It accelerates Hivekind's agentic architecture development."

Bhavna Sachar, Head of Marketing and Growth said, "The team's value is in translating customer needs into agentic product capabilities while keeping the system grounded in operational reality. The hardest part of B2B growth is knowing which accounts matter and acting on that reliably as complexity grows, rather than layering smarter execution on top of a guess."

Team perspective

Rajesh Gupta described, "Having run a GTM agency, I know the problems firsthand, and PitchGod had already pivoted toward signal-based prospecting and MQL mapping. With Hivekind, it's the coming together of two ships sailing in the same direction."

Vardan Agarwal said "The hard part of GTM is architecture, not ideas. Pulling signals from scattered, noisy sources and acting on them reliably without breaking under volume or complexity, requires applied AI on infrastructure that holds."

Deepak Komma said "Raj found us through an X/Twitter thread. Six months in, the conviction has strengthened around the same GTM problem at a much bigger enterprise surface."

The team's hands-on product experience has already shaped capabilities rolling out from early 2026, reflecting Hivekind's continued investment in autonomous GTM as companies rethink pipeline fundamentals under budget pressure.
