Submission declined on 19 December 2023 by Curb Safe Charmer (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Submission declined on 19 December 2023 by HitroMilanese (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by HitroMilanese 5 months ago. |
Arjun Pillai (born on September 15th, 1998) is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and former Chief Data Officer at the publicly traded SaaS company ZoomInfo. Pillai is notable for his significant contributions to the development of artificial intelligence applications for sales. He co-founded Profoundis and Insent, both of which were successfully acquired. Currently, he serves as the CEO and co-founder of Docket Inc.
Early Life and Education
editArjun earned his degree in Electronics Engineering from Cochin University of Science and Technology in 2010 which gave him his strong foundation in technical and data-driven methodologies, which he says have been instrumental in his entrepreneurial ventures.
Career
editInfosys
editAfter graduation, Arjun joined Infosys as a systems engineer. At the age of 23, he left Infosys in 2012 to start Profoundis with former classmates Anoop Thomas Mathew, Nithin Sam Oommen, and Jofin Joseph.[1]
Profoundis
editProfoundis was a SaaS platform that aimed to help businesses and professionals gather insights about their contacts by analyzing publicly available data. Arjun and his partners sold Profoundis[2] to Denver based software company FullContact. Their successful exit was the first SaaS product exit in the state of Kerala, India.[1][3]
Insent.ai
editArjun founded his second start up Insent.ai in 2018 while in Seattle, Washington. Insent is an A.I marketing bot that identifies prospects and manages routing of leads. It helped companies not to rely on website calls to action buttons, instead Insent's chat will engage visitors in personalized manners based on demographic and firmographic data.[1][4]
Insent marked another successful exit for Arjun when he sold to Zoominfo in 2021.
Zoominfo
editArjun was appointed as Chief Data Officer to lead a team of 400+ as part of the acquisition. He developed the company's data strategies, and reinforced its status in the business intelligence and sales data sector. He quit Zoominfo in July 2023 to found his third company.[1]
Docket Inc
editArjun and long time friend (and co-founder) Anoop founded Docket Inc in July 2023. The idea of Docket came about when they couldn't find a solution that could effectively mobilize company knowledge in a seamless fashion and deploy it to those in GTM teams, for whom timing and availability of information is critical to closing deals.[5]
Docket utilizes multi-modal LLMs, machine learning and human input (RLHF) to optimize retrieval of information from across an organization, verify its accuracy and deliver it to users when they need it, unlike legacy enablement tools that only read and write.
Skills and Expertise

He is recognized for his ability to lead high-performance teams and develop collaborative ventures. A passion for technological innovation to address real-world challenges is a consistent theme in his work.[6][7][8]
Foray into venture capitalism

His role as a limited partner in several startup venture funds is part of his commitment to foster innovation and support emerging businesses in the tech industry.[9][10][1]
