Bonfire Analytics was founded by Vinay Nagaraj and Jaya Pokuri in 2022 to resolve the inefficient process of lead generation in healthtech. Vinay had felt inspired to solve this problem because of his personal experience working in healthtech and joined forces with his close friend Jaya because he specialized in data science, which would be the key to unlocking an optimized sales pipeline for any company in the industry.
“Current sales tools are failing to optimize efficiency especially in healthcare, which is causing representatives to feel frustrated and unmotivated. This problem is present in every sector of healthcare because the lead generation process is extremely expensive, time consuming, and ultimately cumbersome. With Bonfire Analytics, our proprietary technology ensures that sales teams have access to the most accurate and valuable leads, which helps companies grow and exceed their revenue goals rapidly,” says co-founder and CEO Vinay Nagaraj.
