Everstage Delivers a Modern Sales Performance Management Platform with New Sales Planning Product and Strategic Finance Leadership to Align Strategy with Innovation Roadmap
"Guided by Niranjan's financial pedigree, we're building a connected platform—one that brings every decision, from planning through commissions, into one intelligent system." - Siva Rajamani, CEO, Everstage

The $1.5 billion sales performance management (SPM) market is on a strong growth trajectory, projected to expand at a CAGR of 11.5% through 2028. Yet, most vendors still treat planning and compensation as disconnected workflows, leading to costly misalignment between sales capacity, revenue targets, and financial accountability.
To lead this product evolution, Niranjan, former CFO of Disprz, has joined Everstage as VP of Finance. With 20+ years of finance leadership experience, Niranjan will guide the development of Planning to ensure it meets the highest standards of financial accuracy while remaining intuitive for operations teams. Everstage is delivering a strategic financial platform that CFOs and CROs can rely on for critical decision-making.
'When your star reps outperform, is it truly their salesmanship? Or were their quotas simply lower, or their territories more lucrative, like Northern California?' said Siva Rajamani, CEO and Co-Founder of Everstage. 'These are the kinds of questions that only get answered when planning and compensation are looked at together. That's what enables smarter, data-backed go-to-market strategies for the future.'
A Unified Platform for Sales and Finance Collaboration
Everstage Planning solves a long-standing disconnect in enterprise organizations, where finance teams own planning accountability but revenue operations execute on it. Traditionally, capacity planning, quota setting, and compensation have lived in silos—leading to inefficiencies, errors, and misaligned incentives.
The product enables cross-functional teams to:
Design balanced territories based on rep capacity and market potential.
Plan and forecast sales capacity aligned to revenue goals and hiring timelines.
Set achievable quotas using AI-driven historical analysis.
Model the financial impact of changes in real time.
Link planning decisions directly to compensation plans.
Everstage Planning integrates seamlessly with Everstage Incentives, ensuring a smooth experience from strategic planning to real-time payouts.
'Having led finance teams at Freshworks, VMware, and Infosys, I've witnessed how disconnected planning and compensation systems create operational inefficiencies and financial risk. We're building an enterprise-grade planning product that bridges the gap between finance and sales operations,' said Niranjan. 'Our goal is to give CFOs the modeling power they need and revenue teams the agility they demand.'
Strategic Finance Perspective
Niranjan's appointment is particularly significant as Everstage Planning bridges traditional silos between sales operations and finance. His expertise will help enhance SPM capabilities such as:
CFO-level financial modeling and scenario planning
Audit-compliant quota and territory allocation
Real-time impact and variance reporting
Board-ready dashboards for capacity visibility
CEO Siva Rajamani added, 'Other planning tools offer point tools that don't talk to each other. They're either too simplistic for enterprise financial requirements or too complex for sales teams to adopt. Guided by Niranjan's financial pedigree, we're building a connected platform—one that brings every decision, from planning through commissions, into one intelligent system.'

CUPE: Liberals reward Air Canada's refusal to bargain fairly by crushing flight attendants' Charter rights
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Air Canada asked the government to crush underpaid flight attendants' Charter rights, and Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu only waited a few hours to deliver. The Liberal government has invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to end a strike by Air Canada flight attendants fighting to end unpaid work and poverty wages. "The Liberals have talked out of both sides of their mouths. They said the best place for this is at the bargaining table. They refused to correct this historic injustice through legislation," said Wesley Lesosky, President of the Air Canada Component of CUPE. "Now, when we're at the bargaining table with an obstinate employer, the Liberals are violating our Charter rights to take job action and give Air Canada exactly what they want — hours and hours of unpaid labour from underpaid flight attendants, while the company pulls in sky-high profits and extraordinary executive compensation." CUPE came to the table with data-driven and reasonable proposals for a fair cost-of-living wage increase and an end to forced unpaid labour. Air Canada responded by sandbagging the negotiations. The Liberal government is rewarding Air Canada's refusal to negotiate fairly by giving them exactly what they wanted. This sets a terrible precedent. Contrary to the Minister's remarks, this will not ensure labour peace at Air Canada. This will only ensure that the unresolved issues will continue to worsen by kicking them down the road. Nor will it ensure labour peace in this industry — because unpaid work is an unfair practice that pervades nearly the entire airline sector, and will continue to arise in negotiations between flight attendants and other carriers.

'This government is anti-union and anti-worker': CUPE NS Denounces Use of Bill 107
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CUPE Nova Scotia strongly condemns the federal government's decision to interfere in workers' right to collective bargaining and job action by invoking Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code. 'Clearly, this government is anti-union and anti-worker,' said Alan Linkletter, CUPE Nova Scotia President. 'Forcing workers back on the job instead of supporting free and fair collective negotiations directly contradictions workers' rights that are guaranteed under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.' Air Canada has asked the government to crush striking workers' Charter rights, and Federal Labour minister Patty Hajdu is ready to deliver. Hajdu announced that the federal government will be invoking Section 107 at a press conference this afternoon, citing the financial welfare of Canadians and the economy at large as a deciding factor for this decision. 'She says this move is for the financial security of Canadians—are these workers not Canadians? Does their welfare not matter? How can you be financially secure when you don't even get paid for all of the hours you work?' Contrary to the Minister's remarks, this will not ensure labour peace in Canada. This will only push this fight onto the next group of workers in negotiations, while Air Canda's flight attendants continue to work for a billion-dollar company for free. Flight attendants are only paid when the plane is moving, and work as many as 35 unpaid hours a month performing vital duties that ensure the safe and smooth operation of each flight. Now, instead of paying flight attendants for all the hours they work, Air Canada has clearly sought help from the federal government to continue exploiting their employees. 'Minister Hajdu's comments indicate a clear lack of respect for workers' rights,' said Sherry Hillier, President of CUPE Newfoundland and Labrador and National General Vice President for Atlantic Canada. 'By using Section 107 to force workers back on the job yet again, they're setting a pattern. And that pattern is that Liberals don't care about Canadians.' Recent polling data indicates that 9 out of 10 Canadians support Air Canada flight attendants' fight for fair pay. 88% per cent of Canadians believe flight attendants should be paid for all work-related duties including boarding, delays, and safety checks. 76% support raising their pay to reflect the important safety role they play. 59% believe the federal government should respect flight attendants' right to take job action–even if it causes travel disruptions. CUPE represents over 10,000 Air Canada flight attendants across the country, and workers have been demonstrating at Halifax Stanfield International Airport since 6AM. 'Messages of support have been pouring in for these workers from across the country,' continued Linkletter. 'Canadians stand with us. Our elected representatives should, too.'
