Navigating Growth with AI: A Conversation with Kishore Khandavalli, CEO of 7T.ai

We sat down with Kishore Khandavalli — CEO of 7T.ai, an expert AI development company that works with Agentforce, WatsonX, and more — to discuss how emerging AI and digital transformation technologies can fuel modern consumer brand platforms like WIN Brands Group. Kishore shares insights on innovation, scalability, and how 7T’s solutions support data-driven, omnichannel growth strategies.

 

 

Q: Kishore, thanks for taking the time. First, can you tell us what 7T.ai stands for and what differentiates your company in the tech landscape?

Kishore Khandavalli: Thanks for having me. 7T focuses on bringing AI-driven digital transformation to businesses of all sizes. We started in mobile and custom software and expanded into enterprise platforms, cloud solutions, machine learning and AI-enabled tools that help companies unlock meaningful, measurable ROI. In 2025, more than 80% of our work involves AI at the core of solving business challenges, whether that’s predictive analytics, automation, or optimizing workflows.

 

 

Q: WIN Brands Group describes itself as building “the ultimate house of brands,” scaling consumer products via an omnichannel operating system. For a company like WIN, where do you see AI and digital transformation fitting into their business model?

Kishore Khandavalli: WIN’s model — acquiring consumer brands and accelerating their growth across digital, Amazon, direct retail, and major box-store channels — generates massive data and operational complexity. AI and automation can turn that complexity into a strategic advantage. For example, machine learning can forecast demand across channels in real time, automate inventory and supply chain decisions, and personalize digital-commerce experiences for customers. Firms like WIN can benefit from predictive systems that not only forecast sales but also optimize marketing spend and product assortments based on real-world consumer behavior and seasonality.

 

 

Q: How might WIN’s shared services team leverage the kind of technology 7T.ai builds?

Kishore Khandavalli: The key is turning disparate brand data into unified insights. Let me break it down with a few areas:

  • Omnichannel Forecasting & Analytics: With multiple brands under one umbrella, WIN can use AI to anticipate demand and align production, fulfillment, and promotions — reducing stockouts and minimizing excess inventory.

  • Automation: Repetitive tasks — from customer service responses to accounting reconciliation — can be automated, freeing teams to focus on strategic growth.

  • Customer Personalization: AI can be embedded into e-commerce platforms to tailor product recommendations, advertising content, and loyalty initiatives so that each consumer feels directly engaged with a brand they love.

AI also helps merge offline and online data so that operational decisions reflect full market dynamics rather than siloed channel views.

 

 

Q: Many leaders struggle to know where to start with AI. How does 7T.ai help businesses identify the right opportunities for transformation?

Kishore Khandavalli: Knowing where to start is often the biggest hurdle. We’ve developed tools like 7T AI Genie that rapidly analyze business processes to highlight where AI can deliver the most value; these recommendations are ready in minutes rather than months. This brings clarity on which areas to automate, forecast, or optimize first. It’s about giving leaders a roadmap backed by data so they can prioritize high-impact initiatives rather than experimenting blindly.

 

 

Q: Given WIN’s focus on shared brand services and growth acceleration, what would you advise companies like WIN about adopting digital transformation at scale?

Kishore Khandavalli: Focus on integration and scalability. When you bring new brands into a portfolio, each may have different systems, data formats, and customer engagement channels. Building a unified digital backbone by leveraging cloud databases, integrated analytics, and standardized workflows creates efficiency and insight. AI becomes exponentially more powerful when it’s fed consolidated, clean data across brands. True transformation happens when tech becomes part of the strategic decision process, not just a support tool.

 

 

Q: Finally, what’s one trend you’re excited about for 2026 in the intersection of AI and consumer brand growth?

Kishore Khandavalli: I’m excited about real-time adaptive systems, such as AI that not only analyzes past performance but dynamically adjusts forecasts, marketing tactics, and operations as new consumer signals come in. For consumer brands operating across channels, this means being able to react at the speed of culture and customer preference. It’s not just automation but rather continuous optimization.

 

 

Through partnerships between expert AI innovators like 7T.ai and multi-brand platforms like WIN, the next era of consumer growth will be defined not only by creativity but by real-time intelligence and operational excellence.
