In this episode of the CPQ Podcast, Frank Sohn speaks with Rohit Chhabra, Chief Product Officer at Conga, about Conga's CPQ strategy, the role ofConga Smart CPQ, and how AI is becoming a broader part of the quote-to-cash and commercial operations landscape. Rohit shares insights from more than 25 years of business, engineering, and product leadership experience, including how his background shapes the way he works with teams, prioritizes product investments, and focuses on customer outcomes. He also discusses his involvement with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation / Breakthrough T1D and how that personal connection has influenced his views on leadership, urgency, and mission-driven work. The conversation covers Conga's two CPQ product lines: Conga Advantage CPQ and Conga Smart CPQ. Rohit explains why the solutions address different customer segments and industry requirements, and why Conga plans to continue investing in both offerings rather than forcing them into a single product path. A key topic is the role of pricing optimization and pricing explainability, especially following Conga's acquisition of PROS. Rohit also discusses Conga's broader AI approach across CPQ, pricing, contract lifecycle management, and document automation, including sales agents, redline-related AI capabilities, admin AI for rule maintenance, and a unified AI technology stack. Listeners will also hear Rohit's perspective on integration strategy, including Conga's OEM relationship with Workato, expansion beyond Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics, potential HubSpot CRM support, and how Conga prioritizes its roadmap using a business-outcome-based approach.

This episode is especially relevant for anyone interested in CPQ software, pricing optimization, AI in quote-to-cash, revenue lifecycle management, CLM integration, and the future direction of Conga's CPQ portfolio.
