AI-driven retail pricing optimization platform
Sciative builds pricing optimization software for retail and CPG companies, using Python, Kafka, Spark, and TensorFlow to handle large-scale data processing and ML inference. The tech stack reflects deep data-engineering demands: Kafka for event streaming, Spark for batch processing, and Hadoop for distributed computation alongside modern API layers (Flask, Django, Node.js). Hiring is heavily skewed toward senior engineers (8 of 14 engineering roles), suggesting focus on architectural complexity rather than scaling headcount—consistent with their stated pain points around low-latency delivery, high-concurrency handling, and processing 1B+ daily data points.
Sciative provides dynamic pricing and revenue optimization solutions for retail, CPG, and e-commerce businesses. The platform uses prescriptive analytics to help companies adjust prices across products, markets, and transactions in real-time, with the goal of reducing value leaks and improving customer loyalty. The product is delivered as both SaaS and custom solutions, with architecture built around microservices, REST and EDI integrations, and cloud deployment (AWS, Kubernetes, Docker). Founded in 2017 and based in Mumbai, the company is engineering-led with 51–200 employees, currently in minimal hiring mode. They are in early CRM adoption (Salesforce, Dynamics 365), signaling a transition toward structured customer relationship and sales operations.
