The business world is going through a significant transformation, driven by AI and shifting customer expectations. Organisations expanding across borders face a harder version of this problem: new market dynamics, new buyer behaviour, and now, new AI tools that promise speed but don't come with a map for how to use them wisely.
CXGLOBE exists to be that map. We help organisations expanding between the West and APAC build go-to-market and customer experience strategies that are sharpened by AI, not driven by it — with the sequencing judgment that comes from having actually built and scaled these functions before.
To help organisations drive growth and profitability as they expand globally, with the judgment to use AI as an accelerant, not a shortcut.
To help organisations adopt AI inside their go-to-market and customer experience strategy — in the right sequence, with the right governance — so growth across new markets is sustainable, not just fast.
AI is changing how companies enter markets and sell — not the strategy itself, but the speed and precision behind it. Market research that took weeks now takes days. Lead qualification, content localisation, and buyer-intent signals can be automated in ways that didn't exist a few years ago.
But speed without judgment is how companies waste budget on AI pilots that never reach production. The gap usually isn't the technology. It's sequencing: knowing where AI genuinely accelerates a GTM or CX motion, where it introduces real risk — data, compliance, brand trust, especially across borders — and where it's simply not worth the distraction yet.
That's the lens we bring. Not as AI builders, but as operators who've run go-to-market and customer experience functions and are now applying AI tools inside that same playbook — for lead generation, market sizing, sales enablement, and customer experience design, with governance and risk questions built in from day one.
Bhagwat leads CXGLOBE, working closely with a focused set of clients on go-to-market strategy, customer experience, and AI-sharpened expansion across Asia Pacific and the West.
He brings 25+ years of enterprise software and SaaS experience, including building Mirakl's first Asia sales organisation from zero, leading Epsilon's Asia Pacific turnaround, and — at SDL — growing a regional business from USD 500K to USD 10M in revenue while doubling margins and scaling the team from 10 to 50 people.
Bhagwat holds a UCLA Anderson–NUS Executive MBA in strategy, finance, and technology management, and continues to study AI and digital transformation through executive programs at INSEAD, Kellogg, and NUS.
Bhagwat isn't an AI engineer — he applies AI tools inside the go-to-market and customer experience functions he's spent 25 years building.
- 01Sequencing over speed
AI should accelerate a sound strategy, not replace the thinking behind one.
- 02Specific over generic
We focus on APAC-West expansion because depth beats breadth for the problems that actually matter to our clients.
- 03Outcomes over decks
Every engagement is judged by a business result, not a deliverable.
