Karthik Bhat
Karthik is the Senior Director of Products at Impact Analytics, where he leads a broad team of engineers, data scientists, UI/UX designers, and product managers building AI-powered pricing and merchandising solutions for the world's largest retailers. He sets the overall product strategy across the company's pricing suite, sharpening customer experience at every stage of the merchandising lifecycle.
PriceSmart is the clearest evidence of that strategy at work, and it points to a mandate that extends well beyond one product. He built the lifecycle pricing engine from first principles, and it now serves outlet store networks across North America and Europe, managing an annual unit retail figure exceeding ten billion dollars. Existing accounts have seen sell-through rate gains of upwards of ten percent and margin gains of upwards of five percent, results built through close collaboration with engineering, data science, and go-to-market teams. That same discipline now shapes how he directs pricing intelligence across the entire portfolio, pushing Impact Analytics to build tools that anticipate where retail pricing is headed rather than simply responding to where it has been.
His approach to product leadership stays close to the problem, understanding how pricing and merchandising teams actually work before shipping a solution meant to fit that reality.

In our clients’ own words
“This partnership allows us to eliminate repetitive, low-value tasks so our merchandisers can focus on understanding what is truly happening in our brand and make quicker, higher-quality decisions to get the right products in the right places for our customers.”
“We landed on Impact Analytics for 3 core reasons: culture, technology, and an intuitive interface that was easy to adopt.”
“Our planners immediately recognized that Impact Analytics understood the realities of retail planning at scale. The opportunity to move from spreadsheet-driven, line-by-line planning to an exceptions-management model is a significant step forward.”
