Our story

XENA was founded by Akhil Suresh Nair in Louisville, Kentucky. He was inspired to study the art of sales when he saw his dad, a brilliant scientist, struggle to bring a life-saving product to market. Akhil studied entrepreneurship at Babson and worked with ecommerce companies at a consulting firm. When he saw the power software could bring to those companies, he set out to build it.

Today XENA's team runs marketplace growth with brands day to day, from listings and advertising to inventory and reporting, as XENA 360, with one unified dashboard for marketplace data. SearchPanel, part of XENA 360, extends that work to AI search: it scores how ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Amazon's shopping assistant recommend each product and ranks the fixes.
