Sales enablement technologies are projected to grow to $4.23 billion by 2027, and the conversation intelligence market will reach $13 billion by 2025. 

"Revenue leaders understand that sales readiness is a mission-critical component of their strategy to consistently meet or exceed their goals. They are taking more square ownership of these programs, and partnering with their sales enablement, revenue operations, and training teams to create a continuous state of excellence across their organisations," Krishna Depura, Mindtickle CEO and co-founder, said. 

"Since our last round, Mindtickle has consistently delivered ahead of plan across all metrics. We are encouraged by their increasing customer additions, contract expansions and new product launches and acceptance. We are delighted to be increasing our exposure to Mindtickle as they enter their next phase of growth," Sumer Juneja, Partner, SoftBank Investment Advisers, added.
