Co-founders Shridhar Shukla and Sunil Gaitonde will continue to serve as Independent Directors.
The worldwide enterprise video market is growing rapidly and will likely reach US$ 21.8B in 2026.

Bhansali’s arrival as kPoint’s CEO will lead the Company in the next growth phase by helping customers overcome challenges in widespread usage of video in the workplace.

Bhansali, a 2006 IIT Bombay graduate, has built multiple successful product platforms for leading media companies. He has founded companies in e-commerce, sharing economy, and digital marketing.

“At kPoint, we are changing the way businesses embed video usage for better customer engagement. We have found that businesses need help in infrastructure they can brand, content that reflects their intent, and freshness to ensure engagement. Ashish adds the required complement to rapidly grow the business leveraging kPoint’s global video cloud built ground-up,” said co-Founder Dr Sunil Gaitonde.
“kPoint is uniquely positioned to make an impact through video-first internet applications for businesses just as OTT video has revolutionized home entertainment. kPoint’s differentiator is its scalable stack built for delivering branded video experiences easily,” said Bhansali.
