April Dunford Toronto
The person most B2B teams learn positioning from, and the author of Obviously Awesome and Sales Pitch She turns positioning from a vague branding exercise into a repeatable exercise: list your true competitive alternatives, isolate the features only you have, work out the value those unlock, and name the market segment that cares most. Her Sales Pitch work is the rare material that connects that positioning to the actual words a rep says on a call. PositioningICPSales processCategory design
Sajith Pai Blume Ventures · Bengaluru
Author of the Indus Valley Report and the India1, India2, India3 market segmentation most India GTM plans now borrow from If you are sizing an Indian market, he is the source that stops you from multiplying 1.4 billion by a conversion rate. India1, India2, India3 forces an honest answer on who can actually pay you, and the Indus Valley Report gives you the underlying numbers to argue with. ICPPositioningCategory designPricing
Suresh Sambandam Kissflow · Chennai
Founder and CEO of Kissflow and one of the loudest public advocates for capital efficient SaaS built in India He argues the case for the low touch, self serve, globally priced Indian SaaS company, and he is specific about how it works: pricing pages that do the qualifying, content as the top of funnel, and keeping sales headcount low on purpose. Useful counterweight if everything else you read assumes a big sales team. PositioningPricingInbound & contentCategory design
Sridhar Vembu Zoho · Tenkasi
Founder of Zoho, which sells to over 100 million users worldwide without venture funding or a heavy sales machine Zoho is the strongest working argument that price, product breadth and patience can substitute for a large sales and marketing budget. He is explicit about the tradeoffs: slower growth, no funding rounds to buy distribution, and a bet that owning the whole stack lets you undercut everyone permanently.

How this list works

Everyone here has a public body of work on go-to-market: talks, posts, podcasts, newsletters, books. We link to those public profiles, and we say what you'd learn from each person. That's the whole list.

We don't publish anyone's email or phone number, and being listed here doesn't mean someone has offered to answer messages. Read their work first. If you do write to someone, their public profiles are the place.

Listed here and would rather not be, or something is wrong? Email [email protected] and we'll fix or remove it.
