"Everything AI": Meet the Coupa India Product Team Building the Future of AI Spend Management

We recently sat down with three leaders from our newly established India Product Team: Praveen Kunigal Athmaramasetty (Senior Director, Product Management), Neetu Pandey (Director of Product Management), and Trishala Jain (Senior Director, Product Marketing). We talked about why they joined Coupa, the unprecedented freedom they have to build, and the game-changing AI agents they are bringing to the market.

For this team, the decision to join Coupa came down to one critical factor: alignment with the future.

"I joined because Coupa has a brilliant work culture and they're building some cool, future-looking AI products," Trishala explains. Neetu agrees, noting that Coupa's vision and roadmap perfectly matched her desire to focus on "everything AI."

But it's not just about the roadmap; it's about the execution and the culture that enables it. Praveen highlights the incredible "free hand" and absolute ownership the team is given. That flexibility, combined with top-tier engineering talent, allowed Neetu to become the "brain behind autonomous sourcing," successfully delivering two massive AI agents for her product line in just three months.

"The amount of real agents which we have, which add value to the customer—I don't think anybody in the market has it," says Praveen.

And they are just getting started.

Watch the full video below and listen to the team’s advice for early career and more tenured professionals looking to join our growing tech hubs in Bangalore, Pune, and Hyderabad. As Neetu perfectly summarizes: "When somebody wants to join Coupa, they need to come with an innovative mindset."
