About this episode

Dinesh Venugopal discusses the challenges and opportunities in enterprise AI transformation.

Enterprises have never been more committed to AI, yet many are still struggling to translate that investment into measurable business value. For Dinesh Venugopal, CEO of Tenarai, this wasn't just an industry trend. It was showing up in conversations with business and technology leaders every day. He saw a massive opportunity to help enterprises accelerate their AI journey. After three decades as Infogain, the company reinvented itself as Tenarai, shifting from a traditional engineering services model to one built around AI squads, forward-deployed engineers, and outcome-based delivery. In this episode of Zinnov Podcast, Pari Natarajan, CEO of Zinnov, sits down with Dinesh at our New York office to discuss what prompted that shift, why so many enterprise AI initiatives never move beyond pilots, and what it actually takes to transform your own company before helping customers transform theirs. Tune in now.
