Artificial Intelligence is everywhere — but what is actually working inside enterprises, and what is still hype?

In this season finale episode of The Boss’s Code, I speak with Dwarak Rajagopal, Head of AI Research at Snowflake, who has spent years building AI systems at the intersection of research and real-world deployment.

This conversation goes beyond models and benchmarks to examine how AI is being operationalised inside large organisations — and what it takes to make AI reliable, trustworthy, and useful at scale.

In this episode, we discuss:

What enterprises are really doing with AI today — and where expectations still outpace reality

Why open source remains critical to innovation, talent, and long-term AI leadership

How Snowflake is addressing hallucinations, bias, and trust in enterprise AI systems

The growing divide between corporatised, closed AI development in the U.S. and academic, open approaches emerging from China

Where India stands in the global AI race — opportunities, risks, and what it must get right

This is a grounded, strategic conversation about AI as infrastructure — not spectacle — and what leaders need to understand as AI becomes embedded in business, policy, and society.
