The bank employee said the service did not exist. Redickaa Subrammanian had an unusual reason to disagree: she had helped design the bank’s website, complete with its services. She had come to the branch for a credit-card form. Somewhere between the online promise and the counter, the service had vanished.
A manager eventually apologised. The employee was new and did not know what the bank offered. It was an ordinary encounter with an extraordinary amount of wasted effort tucked inside it. Someone had built the portal. Someone had written the information. A customer had arrived ready to act. The final conversation undid the work.
Subrammanian later recalled the incident while explaining her interest in connecting internal and external communication. It makes a useful beginning for the story of the Resulticks co-founder and CEO. Before the software and the global customers, there was this small, maddening question: how could a company say one thing and deliver another, without apparently noticing the distance between them?
A copywriter learns to connect the machinery
Her route into that question began in advertising. She worked in copywriting, then account management, before heading an interactive engineering practice at Intiqua International. The progression carried her from the words used to attract a customer towards the systems that shaped what happened next. Each role offered a different place to inspect the same journey.
Her education had an equally broad range: fine arts, a bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Madras, and an MBA from the State University of New York at Buffalo. Born and educated in Chennai, she had studied at Queen Mary’s College and Kalakshetra. The combination put creative work and business study in the same biography well before marketing software became her principal business.
In her account of the engineering work, the task involved bringing creative design and technical capabilities together around business outcomes. User experience mattered alongside the underlying system. A portal could be technically complete and still leave a customer stranded. For someone moving between advertising and engineering, the handover between disciplines was becoming part of the work itself.
That background helps explain the questions she would later ask of marketing technology. What does the customer experience? Where does the information go? Can the business see a result? There is a pleasing lack of glamour to these questions. They are also difficult to evade once a customer is standing at your counter.
A business hiding inside the agency
In 2004, Subrammanian and her business partner, Dakshen Ram, decided to start Interakt during a coffee-shop meeting. The company was a full-service communications business. A decade later, Resulticks emerged from the agency’s accumulated experience of what its clients needed and what their existing tools struggled to do.
The difficulty kept recurring across assignments. A company could have plenty of customer information, spread over systems that did not communicate effectively. It could send messages through different channels without seeing the whole relationship. It could pay for marketing and still struggle to say which activity had contributed to revenue. The agency was close enough to these problems to encounter their practical consequences.
Development of the Resulticks platform took place in the years leading up to its 2014 launch. Subrammanian described a transition beginning in 2012, with engineers building tools around multiple channels, devices and customer identities. Starting with the data meant dealing with scale, privacy and security before deciding where and when a brand should speak.
Her explanation of the platform comes down to three capabilities: customer data, communication across channels, and analytics. The first gathers information into a usable picture. The second helps determine the next interaction. The third examines what followed. In a customer’s life these events belong together; inside a company they can belong to separate departments.
“We drive business outcomes,” she said in 2020. It is a compact statement with an awkward demand attached. Outcomes require a definition, and measurement requires a connection between activity and consequence. A campaign that looks busy can still leave that question unanswered. Her insistence on attribution keeps pulling the discussion back to what the business can demonstrate.
“Marketers need to have a clear purpose for their data.”

She has also cautioned against collecting information simply because it can be collected. The useful questions concern timing, channel, content, context and impact. That puts a limit around the enthusiasm for data: the information has to help somebody decide what to do. A larger stockpile does not, by itself, make the customer’s experience more coherent.
Her account of the early market entry gives existing relationships a role. Clients who had worked with the agency were willing to try the new technology. Trust offered the company an opportunity to demonstrate the product. For an agency moving towards software, those relationships carried experience in both directions: the team knew the problems, and customers knew the team.
An award with a crowded acceptance speech
In November 2013, before the Resulticks launch, Subrammanian won a Gold Stevie Award for Female Entrepreneur of the Year in the business-services category for advertising, marketing and public relations companies with more than ten employees. Interakt also received a bronze award for internal communications work with Nalco. The paired recognition suited a company concerned with what happens inside a brand as well as outside it.
Her response made room for the people doing that work. She called the honour an “inside job” and credited her fellow Interaktors: strategists, designers, content developers and technologists. The joke carried a point. An entrepreneur may walk up for the trophy, but the business she described required several kinds of expertise to work together.
The career continued to acquire public milestones. Her official biography records inclusion in Axial’s Growth 100 middle-market CEOs in the United States in 2016. In September 2019, Resulticks announced that she would give the opening remarks at Adweek’s inaugural celebration of its 100 fastest-growing agencies in New York. The invitation brought an agency founder turned software executive back into a room organised around agency growth.
In 2017, the Thai investment fund 500 Tuk Tuks announced an investment in Resulticks. Subrammanian spoke about the opportunity for Southeast Asian brands to take advantage of digital customer engagement. The geography matters to this story: Interakt began in Singapore, and Resulticks developed from that base while pursuing customers across markets. Expansion meant carrying the same business question into different commercial settings.
Dove, a chicken, and the person behind the platform
Ask Subrammanian about advertising she likes and the answers leave room for both feeling and silliness. In 2019, she singled out Dove’s Real Beauty campaign, praising its appreciation of different kinds of beauty. She also admired Burger King’s Subservient Chicken, an interactive campaign whose considerable commitment to absurdity helped it find an audience.
There is no requirement that those preferences look alike. One offers recognition; the other invites participation and a laugh. Her explanation of the chicken campaign paid attention to its use of different channels and its connection to the product. Even the goofy example came with an interest in how the creative idea worked commercially. The copywriter had remained in the room.
She also named Inside Bill’s Brain as a series she found interesting, particularly its picture of technology and business achievement being applied beyond the business itself. These preferences add some texture to an executive biography otherwise crowded with systems, platforms and growth plans. She still talks about the work people choose to watch and remember.
Her own working habits are rather less theatrical than a performing chicken. She has described relying on detailed calendars, lists and roadmaps, checking commitments and revisiting plans. She has also recommended Autobiography of a Yogi, saying she travels with a copy. Together, the habits suggest a founder who makes space for reflection while remaining attentive to the next item that needs doing.
That daily discipline fits the business problem she chose. A promise needs follow-through. So does a product roadmap, a client commitment or a plan for a new market. Lists are not often the most memorable object in a founder’s story. They do, however, have the advantage of recording what remains unfinished.
The next connection is still being made
The company’s recent work has continued to involve partners. In October 2025, Resulticks and Tata Consultancy Services announced an expanded alliance intended to support adoption of the RESUL platform. The collaboration included delivery support, training and ways to measure performance. Building the technology and helping organisations put it to work remained connected tasks.
A larger proposed connection followed with Diginex. An amended agreement announced in August 2026 set out an all-share combination with stated consideration of $1.05 billion. The proposed business would bring Resulticks’ customer engagement capabilities together with Diginex’s sustainability and regulatory data tools. Subrammanian described the opportunity in terms of using trusted information to support customer relationships.
Closing conditions remained.
Her appointment as CEO of the combined company is conditional on completion.
On October 13, Diginex announced that its shareholders had approved the combination at their October 8 meeting. Nasdaq approval of the combined company’s listing application and other conditions remained outstanding. Under the announced plan, Subrammanian would become CEO of the combined company upon completion. It is a consequential next step, with an essential future tense.
The scale is far removed from a request for a credit-card form. The underlying concern remains recognisable: information has to travel far enough to become useful. A website can announce a service, an agency can devise a campaign, a platform can connect customer records. The test arrives when someone expects the business to make good on the promise. Subrammanian’s career has kept returning to that moment at the counter.
