It Wasn't A Surprise: The History of The AI Era | Enterprise Decoded
Every executive wants to know if the artificial intelligence revolution was a sudden surprise. The honest answer is no.
Welcome to a special bonus episode of Enterprise Decoded. Host Anji Maram sits down solo to decode the true history of the technology movement that is currently reshaping the enterprise world. Instead of chasing the latest hype, Anji takes listeners on a deep historical journey.
He reveals how seemingly boring inventions, like the elevator safety brake and the standardized shipping container, quietly compounded over decades to create massive global shifts like skyscrapers and globalized trade. The exact same compounding pattern happened with artificial intelligence. From IBM Watson winning Jeopardy in 2011 to Salesforce declaring itself an AI first company years before the hype began, the infrastructure for this moment was quietly laid over decades.
Listen now to learn why the most successful tech companies are the ones that focus on their core data foundation rather than reacting to the latest trend.
The real question for your leadership team is not whether you saw this coming, but what you are quietly building today to prepare for tomorrow.

The Investigator Mindset | Tony Sorensen | Enterprise Decoded
Technology organizations are brilliant at building fast and shipping often. However, a typical organization only uses 20 to 30 percent of its technology stack potential. Why does this happen? Teams usually start with available technology and search for a problem instead of starting with the actual customer.
Tony Sorensen joins Anji Maram to decode the investigator mindset. They discuss how requirements frequently arrive as solutions in disguise and why problem debt is far more dangerous than technical debt. They break down real world examples of how a failure to ask the right questions leads to massive organizational waste and catastrophic failures like the Boeing 737 MAX.
Listen now to learn how to implement root cause analysis and cross functional problem ownership so your team builds what truly matters.

Building AI Systems That Work | Elizabeth Lingg & Garima Agarwal | Enterprise Decoded
There is a massive graveyard of enterprise artificial intelligence pilots that looked great in a demo but never made it to actual users.
Why is the transition from the research lab to enterprise production so difficult?
In Episode 4 of Enterprise Decoded, host Anji Maram sits down with Elizabeth Lingg, Director of Applied Research at Thomson Reuters Labs, and Garima Agarwal, Chief Technology Officer at Meeru AI.
Together, they break down the brutal realities of deploying generative models in high stakes business environments.
Listeners will discover why building for the enterprise means building for edge cases rather than average cases. The guests share their deep experience in the field, explaining how engineering discipline determines the floor of your success, while research only determines the ceiling.
You will also learn about the Three Gs framework for enterprise readiness. We discuss how to ensure your data is Grounded, how to keep your outputs Governed and auditable, and how to use a Graduated approach to build deep trust with your most skeptical end users.
Whether you are a Chief Information Officer, a software engineer, or a business leader trying to navigate the hype, this conversation provides a roadmap for building durable and verifiable systems that drive real business growth.
Listen now to learn how to stop building fragile pilots and start building resilient enterprise platforms.

Designing AI-Systems That People Trust | Raju Reddy | Enterprise Decoded
Welcome to Enterprise Decoded, a podcast about the systems we build and the people those systems are built for. Hosted by Anji Maram, we bypass the buzzwords to explore AI, platforms, and automation through grounded, empathetic leadership.
In Episode 2, we are joined by Raju Reddy to tackle a foundational challenge in an AI-first world: engineering trust. Trust can no longer be relegated to a marketing slogan; it must be a deliberate design, architectural, and product decision.
Listen in as we navigate our signature format to uncover the realities of modern enterprise technology:🔹 The Good: What’s actually working when building trusted systems.🔹 The Bad: The broken processes and blind spots holding us back.🔹 The Ugly: The uncomfortable realities leaders must face head-on.

Why Intent Matters in an AI-First World | Dr. Vijay Gurbaxani | Enterprise Decoded
We’re live! Enterprise Decoded Episode 1 is here.
After many conversations, debates, and real-world lessons from the field, I’m excited to kick off this podcast series.
Episode 1: Why Intent Matters in an AI-First World
With the brilliant Dr. Vijay Gurbaxani
In a world rushing to become “AI-first,” we paused to ask a more important question:
Are we building with intent? Or just building fast?
In this episode, we unpack:
Why AI is not just automation, it’s decision-making at scale What “AI-first” actually means (beyond the buzzword)
A practical 4-part framework for leaders navigating AI adoption
Why most AI pilots fail and how to fix it
And the big one: why how you build matters as much as what you build
One line that stayed with me:“Trust isn’t marketed. It’s engineered.”
This is the first of many honest, structured, and no-hype conversations on AI, platforms, and enterprise transformation.
If you’re a CIO, CTO, product leader, or just someone trying to make sense of AI beyond the noise, this one’s for you.
