THE PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY

How the story unfolds.

Distribution experience before software

Harsh Sajnani’s account of Kingpin begins in a family business distributing international brands across the Middle East. In an interview with Inc.

That operating experience shaped his focus as co-founder and CEO: connecting buyer discovery, outreach and order execution.[2]
