Sudharshan Chary, Senior Vice President, Product Strategy at Agilysys, Inc.
Reporting directly to President and Chief Executive Officer Ramesh Srinivasan, Mr. Chary will work in concert with Frank Pitsikalis and Rohith Kori -- who also serve in Senior Vice President, Product Strategy roles -- to help hospitality organizations understand how to maximize the revenue and operating advantages of the Agilysys modern, cloud-native, data-driven, end-to-end integrated technology ecosystem.
Mr. Chary gained prominence in the hospitality industry by recognizing the potential of combining data from various hotel systems and using business intelligence to improve hotel operations long before doing so became an accepted practice. Understanding the power of turning raw data into actionable information to drive optimal decisions, Mr. Chary co-founded Datavision Technologies and built data models and a BI platform crafted specifically for hospitality organizations.
Mr. Chary served as the technology and data visionary, sales evangelist and president for the Company, helping hospitality leaders understand how to apply data and user-driven BI to optimize their operations, expand revenue opportunities and elevate customer service levels. In 2022, Otelier acquired the hospitality-focused BI platform to expand its hotel performance and analytics footprint.
In 2019, Mr. Chary was inducted into the HFTP International Technology Hall of Fame for developing the first business intelligence platform specifically for hospitality and pioneering the widespread adoption of modular, user-driven BI in the industry.
“Sudharshan Chary’s energy and commitment to helping hospitality organizations understand the tremendous advantages that can be gained through innovative modern technology is well-aligned with our mission at Agilysys,” said Ramesh Srinivasan, Agilysys President and CEO. “As organizations explore deeper utilization of data, including emerging AI opportunities, his hospitality expertise and analytics strength will serve our customers and prospects well.”
Mr. Chary noted, “Agilysys is the most compelling technology innovator in hospitality today, crafting solutions that move the industry forward. The Company is recognized for collaborating closely with customers to understand their challenges and desires and then shaping solutions to help hospitality leaders achieve their goals. I am looking forward to contributing to the hospitality industry as part of this impressive team.”
