Sameer Narkar, founder of Konnect Insights, built a $180M bootstrapped CX intelligence platform serving 500+ brands in 35 countries. He explains how AI transforms raw customer signals into boardroom-ready strategy—beyond dashboards and NPS scores.
Most companies think they're listening to their customers—but dashboards and NPS scores only tell part of the story. Sameer Narkar built a platform that turns omnichannel, multilingual customer signals into strategic intelligence that belongs in the boardroom, not just the support queue.
In this episode:
• Why dashboards alone fail leaders—and what CX intelligence delivers instead
• How Konnect Insights handles multilingual sentiment across 35+ countries with 90–100% accuracy
• The case for proprietary AI over off-the-shelf LLMs in regulated industries like banking and telecom
• Why silence from a customer is a signal—and how AI catches what human teams miss
Sameer Narkar is the Founder and CEO of Konnect Insights, a bootstrapped SaaS platform he built over 12 years without a single dollar of external funding.

Today, Konnect Insights serves 500+ brands across 27 industries in 35+ countries, processing signals from 30+ channels in real time.
