Summary

Bharath Kurapati is CEO and Co‑Founder of FeatureBox AI with nearly a decade of experience at the intersection of technology and consumer packaged goods, having worked with brands like Peet’s Coffee, Walmart brands, and food‑tech startups. He founded FeatureBox AI to help CPG brands that lack in‑house data science expertise make better inventory and financial decisions and avoid the common pitfalls that cause many early failures. featureboxai+1
FeatureBox AI is a system of AI workflows and agentized data‑science tools that tap into ERP, point‑of‑sale, and market data to deliver accurate demand forecasts, optimized trade plans, and automated dispute workflows to recover deductions and stop P&L leakage. featureboxai+1
FeatureBox has demonstrated commercial impact in early deployments — for a mid‑sized CPG customer the team delivered at least $700K per year in annual savings, and the product is already live with 12 CPG brands as the company looks to scale via partnerships and startup programs. featureboxai+1
