GreyOrange, Inc., a global leader in automated robotic fulfillment and inventory optimization software, today announces Akash Gupta as Chief Executive Officer. Gupta now leads GreyOrange’s mission of growing the company as a customer centric and innovation-first solutions platform provider, in partnership with the senior executive team.
Gupta and co-founder Samay Kohli have worked together closely, guiding the company since the founding of GreyOrange. Kohli is transitioning out of the CEO role and will continue serving on the board of directors.
“From launching our first robotics hardware in Gurugram, India in 2012 to becoming a global leader in software and robotics today--I could not be prouder of the work Samay and I have accomplished over these past 11 years,” said Akash Gupta, co-founder and CEO, GreyOrange. “We have realized the full potential of real-time orchestration, coordination, intelligence and automation, and I look forward to continuing to do so in this innovative, growing industry.”
Gupta has served as Chief Technology Officer and Chief Product Officer. Most recently, he spearheaded GreyOrange’s first software-only product that fulfills the founders’ long-term vision of an end-to-end orchestration and intelligence platform. He developed the gStore omnichannel retail management solution in 2021 and launched it commercially in 2022. Together, Kohli and Gupta led the GreyOrange team in bringing to market GreyMatter™, the multiagent orchestration platform that assigns work to job-specific robots--from any vendor-- based on near-real-time information.
“Akash’s appointment as CEO comes as GreyOrange continues to be a leader and innovator by offering cutting edge software and robotic solutions that increase overall efficiency, productivity and safety across multiple industries,” said Binny Bansal, board member, GreyOrange. “Under Akash’s leadership the company is well positioned to advance its growth trajectory.”
Gupta is committed to continued innovation-driven growth, which will ensure that GreyOrange remains at the forefront of industry trends while providing customers with the most effective and efficient solutions for their fulfillment challenges.
“With Akash’s extensive tech industry leadership experience and commitment to well-nurtured customer and employee relationships, I know he has the expertise needed to uniquely position and advance the company for success during our current global transition to warehouse automation,” said Ajay Royan, board member, GreyOrange. “The Board is confident that with Akash at the helm, GreyOrange will continue to drive innovation, expand global partnerships and brand awareness, while serving as a credible voice of counsel now and in the future."
