Gupta now leads GreyOrange’s seasoned senior executive team to advance the company’s mission to be the world’s leading automation solutions platform.
Gupta and co-founder Samay Kohli have worked closely together since GreyOrange’s inception over a decade ago, guiding the growth of a premium brand that serves the exacting needs of global customers, from Fortune 500 giants to fast-growing startups. Kohli will continue to serve GreyOrange as a member of the company’s board of directors.
“From launching our first robotics hardware in 2012 to becoming a global leader in software, robotics and omnichannel retail management, I could not be prouder of our team’s decade of pioneering accomplishments,” said Akash Gupta, co-founder and CEO, GreyOrange. “Our expanding portfolio of AI driven solutions enables our customers to solve their most critical challenges across their entire fulfillment network: from warehouses to retail stores and e-commerce.”
Prior to his appointment as CEO, Gupta held executive roles at GreyOrange, including Chief Technology Officer and Chief Product Officer. He also played a key role in developing gStore, GreyOrange’s innovative omnichannel retail management solution. Together with Kohli, Gupta was instrumental in bringing to market GreyMatter™, a fulfillment orchestration platform that assigns work to job-specific robots—from any vendor—based on near-real-time information, fulfilling the founders’ long-term vision of an end-to-end orchestration and intelligence platform.
