DataBahn Appoints Vishesh Choudhary Senior Vice President of Partnerships to Scale Channel-Led Business

Appointment follows recognition on the CRN 2026 Stellar Startups list and a year of 400% revenue growth driven primarily by partners

DALLAS, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DataBahn, the agentic data control plane for security, observability and AI, today announced the appointment of Vishesh Choudhary as senior vice president of partnerships. Choudhary will lead DataBahn's global partner program and drive the company's partner-led approach to market.

DataBahn sells primarily through partners across four routes to market: value-added resellers (VARs), global systems integrators, managed security service providers (MSSPs) and technology alliances. That model carried the company through a year of more than 400% year-over-year revenue growth, 180%+ net revenue retention and a 97% proof-of-concept win rate, with net-new VAR partners onboarding every month.

The appointment follows news that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has included DataBahn on its 2026 Stellar Startups list in the Data Platforms and Analytics category. This list highlights fast-rising technology vendors that are driving innovation and fostering growth in the IT channel with groundbreaking products.

"We're proud to recognize the innovative companies featured on this year's Stellar Startups list," said Jennifer Follett, vice president, U.S. content, executive editor at CRN, The Channel Company. "These organizations are redefining what's possible in the IT channel by bringing fresh ideas, transformative technologies and a strong commitment to partner success. We look forward to seeing the impact they continue to make across the industry."

"Our partners have been central to DataBahn's journey from day one, and they have been instrumental in driving our growth," said Nanda Santhana, co-founder and CEO of DataBahn. "As enterprises modernize their security operations, rethink their SIEM strategies, and build next-generation data and AI platforms, one thing becomes clear: you cannot modernize what you do not control. That is where DataBahn and our partners create tremendous value together. Vishesh brings the experience, relationships and operational discipline to turn our partner ecosystem into a global growth engine. The CRN recognition reinforces what we have believed all along: the next generation of cybersecurity will be built through ecosystems, not in silos."

A channel built for how enterprises buy
Choudhary brings more than 22 years of experience helping enterprises and partners modernize their technology stacks with AI, cloud and other emerging technologies, including at AWS and Deloitte.

"Enterprises are not buying a data pipeline in isolation. They are buying it alongside a SIEM, a data lake or an AI SOC project that a partner is already running," Choudhary said. "That is why the channel is our primary motion. My focus is making DataBahn the easiest yes in those deals, with clear pricing, fast onboarding and a program that rewards partners for the expansion they drive."

Choudhary has already restructured partner incentives, including a new SPIFF program. DataBahn plans to unveil further details of its partner program by Q1 2027.
