SHOW NOTES:

• WisdomAI website

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show, Soham. We overlapped briefly at Rubrik. Give everyone a quick introduction and tell everyone a bit about your time at Google prior to Rubrik

Topic 2 - You helped scale Rubrik from inception to a $5.6 billion IPO in 2024. What was the "aha moment" that made you leave that success to tackle the enterprise data analytics problem with WisdomAI?

Topic 3 - Let's define the core problem. Organizations invest heavily in modern data platforms - Snowflake, Databricks, etc. - but there is the term "drowning in data but starving for insights." What's broken in the traditional BI stack that prevents business users from getting answers?

Topic 4 - How do agentic AI and BI fit together? WisdomAI introduces the concept of "Knowledge Fabric" and agentic data insights. Break this down for us - how does this fundamentally differ from traditional dashboards and BI tools?

Topic 5 - One of the biggest challenges with GenAI in enterprise settings is hallucination. You've emphasized that WisdomAI separates GenAI from answer generation. How does your approach tackle this critical trust issue?

Topic 6 - Let's talk about data integration complexity. Your platform works with both structured and unstructured data - Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, but also Excel, PDFs, PowerPoints. How do you handle this "dirty" data reality that most enterprises face?

Topic 6a - With so much data, how do most organizations get started? What’s a typical use case for adoption?
