DataBahn has appointed Vishesh Choudhary as senior vice president of partnerships, putting him in charge of its global partner program as the company expands its channel-led strategy.

- Vishesh Choudhary is DataBahn's new senior vice president of partnerships.
- He will lead DataBahn's global partner program.
- DataBahn reported more than 400% year-over-year revenue growth.
- The company has restructured incentives and plans further program details by Q1 2027.
- CRN included DataBahn on its 2026 Stellar Startups list.
A partner-led route to market
Choudhary will lead DataBahn's global partner program and drive its partner-led approach to market. The company sells primarily through four channels: value-added resellers, global systems integrators, managed security service providers and technology alliances.
According to DataBahn, that model supported a year of more than 400% year-over-year revenue growth, 180%+ net revenue retention and a 97% proof-of-concept win rate. The company also said new VAR partners have been onboarding every month.
DataBahn describes its product as an agentic data control plane for security, observability and AI. It says the platform controls enterprise telemetry, searches it across connected stores and acts on it in stream, delivering data in the required format with noise removed.
Choudhary brings enterprise technology experience
Choudhary brings more than 22 years of experience helping enterprises and partners modernize technology stacks with AI, cloud and other emerging technologies. His previous experience includes work at AWS and Deloitte.
He said enterprises typically buy a data pipeline alongside a SIEM, a data lake or an AI SOC project that a partner is already running. Choudhary said his focus will be making DataBahn “the easiest yes in those deals,” with clear pricing, fast onboarding and a program that rewards partners for the expansion they drive.
DataBahn has already restructured partner incentives, including a new SPIFF program. The company plans to unveil further details of its partner program by Q1 2027.
Appointment follows CRN startup recognition
The appointment follows DataBahn's inclusion on CRN's 2026 Stellar Startups list in the Data Platforms and Analytics category. CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, says the list highlights fast-rising technology vendors that are driving innovation and fostering growth in the IT channel.
“Our partners have been central to DataBahn's journey from day one,” DataBahn co-founder and CEO Nanda Santhana said in the announcement. Santhana said the recognition reinforced the company's view that “the next generation of cybersecurity will be built through ecosystems, not in silos.”
For DataBahn, the leadership change and planned program updates are aimed at supporting partners that incorporate the company's platform into security, observability and AI projects. The announcement links that channel strategy to the company's reported growth and its expansion across reseller, integrator, service-provider and technology-partner routes.
