Abhyut Jha

I am a B2B SaaS Account Executive with 8+ years of experience driving net-new logo acquisition, pipeline creation, and revenue growth across India, APAC, MEA, and ANZ markets with specialization in Data Ecosystem.


I specialise in full-cycle sales execution from prospecting and discovery to negotiation and close. Specialised in selling Kafka, Cloud, Data, Streaming, Analytics, AI, Cybersecurity, and CX platforms to CXOs and senior enterprise stakeholders. I have a strong track record of building pipeline from scratch, managing complex buying committees, and closing high-value deals.


At Confluent and previous roles, I have:

✅ Built and owned large net-new pipelines across mid-market and enterprise accounts

✅ Executed MEDDPICC & BANT frameworks for deal qualification & predictable forecasting

✅ Worked closely with SEs, Partners, Marketing and SDRs to accelerate deal velocity

✅ Led multi-threaded conversations with technical and business buyers


I am known for my consultative selling approach, strong discovery skills, and ability to articulate business value rather than features. I thrive in fast-paced, high-growth SaaS environments where ownership, accountability, and execution matter.
