About

The biggest problem in enterprise sales is not effort. It is clutter. Cluttered lists. Cluttered pipelines. Cluttered messages. Cluttered pitches. Sellers work harder than they ever have and win less often, because the intelligence they need almost never reaches them at the moment it matters. Every enterprise sales team is already sitting on the answers: account insight, market signals, buyer behaviour, and hard lessons from every deal they have won and lost. Almost none of it shows up in the room. So teams fall back on instinct, scattered data, and manual effort to push complex deals forward. I am building Zylabs to fix that. Zylabs is an AI-native sales intelligence layer that runs across the full deal lifecycle. It surfaces the real buying triggers that tell you which accounts are worth chasing, sharpens what you say to each one, learns from your past wins and losses, and puts timely, context-aware guidance in front of sellers at every customer interaction. The operating promise: you show up for the meeting, and Zylabs runs everything else. Before this, I spent over a decade at Boston Consulting Group, most recently as Managing Director & Partner. I led the B2B sales topic in India and ran more than 50 enterprise sales acceleration engagements with leadership teams across industries. Earlier, at Monitor Deloitte in the US, I advised top-tier telecom companies on strategic initiatives. I hold an MBA from IIM Indore and a B.Tech in Information and Communication Technology. If this is the problem you are living with, or you want to help build the answer, reach me at vishal[at]zylabs[dot]ai.
