Soham Mazumdar, CEO and Co-Founder of WisdomAI, discusses how organizations can break free from the "drowning in data but starving for insights" paradox that plagues modern enterprises. We explore his journey from Google's TeraGoogle project to co-founding and scaling Rubrik through its $5.6 billion IPO, and why he left that success to build an agentic AI approach to Business Intelligence (BI) that transforms how businesses extract value from their data investments.

SHOW NOTES:
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?
Topic 7 - If anyone is interested, what’s the best way to get started?
