Anakin - Senior Manager/Associate Director - Global Enterprise Sales (6-15 yrs)

What we do?

As businesses in E-commerce, Quick Commerce, Ride-Hailing, and Food Delivery sectors eye for market share, consolidation, profitability, IPO aspirations, or becoming a super app; real-time data of competitors' pricing enables players to uncover insights and make data-driven decisions. Access to this data enables companies to make dynamic pricing decisions, optimize product selections, and stay competitive in a rapidly shifting landscape.

We see a unique ~US$10Bn opportunity for us in this market. As companies in these sectors grow and face increasing competition, they actively seek data-driven solutions to gain a competitive edge. This has created a strong demand for partners who can provide real-time competitor pricing and information, which are crucial for optimizing their strategies. Driven by a strong tech team constantly innovating to stay ahead of the curve and offer new and flexible solutions, we are uniquely placed to meet the evolving needs of these industries, helping clients stay agile, informed, and ahead of the competition in this dynamic landscape.

At Anakin, we're building a DaaS platform that enables large enterprises with pricing intelligence. Backed by Y-combinator, we're a profitable company working with global online commerce, ride-hailing, quick commerce, and food delivery players and helping them understand competition and increase top-line.
