Many of the list’s esteemed executives have brought new solutions to market, like Sowmiya herself has. Their business impacts and overall contributions are shaping the industry and elevating the standard for retail success.
The impact that Sowmiya and her Co-Founder, Lily AI’s award-winning CEO Purva Gupta, have brought the industry has already been felt by some of the world’s biggest retailers and brands. This impact will continue to grow as:
