  The Office of Equals: Rethinking Global Teams for the AI Era

  Jul 28, 202630 min

  Most companies building a GCC in India begin with execution and earn product ownership later. At isolved, that order is reversed. On this episode of the Zinnov Podcast, host Ravi Darbha sat down with Pragya Gupta, Chief Operating Officer, isolved and Amy Mosher, Chief People Officer, isolved, the HCM company opening its first center outside the United States in Hyderabad in 2026. Their framing for that center is an office of equals. Every function is staffed to its fullest, full-stack development and product ownership included, and every team is measured on the same outcomes as its US counterpart. The conversation covers why isolved waited until 2026 rather than 2016, how a four-decade-old company is standing up an R&D-led center from day one, where AI agents already run inside R&D and support operations, and why Amy Mosher argues that retention was never really about compensation. On this Zinnov Podcast episode, isolved's Pragya Gupta and Amy Mosher describe building the company's first India GCC in Hyderabad as an office of equals: an R&D-led center with full-stack development and product ownership from day one, AI agents kept inside a human-in-the-loop workflow, and outcome metrics held consistent across the US and India. Amy Mosher makes the case that retention depends on a holistic employee experience rather than compensation. Tune in now.

  The Business Behind the Box: How AI Is Transforming Packaging Manufacturing Ft. Chuck Schneider, Amtech Software

  Jul 21, 202635 min

  Every box on a shelf, every label on a bottle, every pouch in your pantry passed through a world most of us never think about. It's a business of wafer-thin margins, nonstop production lines, and zero room for error, and right now, AI is turning it upside down. In this episode, Nitika Goel, CMO and Managing Partner, Zinnov, sits down with Chuck Schneider, CEO of Amtech Software, whose systems run more than 1,250 packaging plants around the world. Chuck opens up about betting big on AI (every single employee now has an AI goal), and what it really takes to lead through relentless change. Along the way, he shares how growing up on an island of 37 people shaped his leadership style, why he's the last one to speak in the room, and the one thing that still keeps him up at night. It's a candid look at technology, culture, and staying ahead — with a masala dosa detour along the way. Tune in now.

  Designing Customer Experience for Speed, Trust, and Resilience Ft. Sarv Saravanan, Commvault

  Jul 7, 202636 min

  In an AI-led world where workflows are getting commoditized and customer expectations are rising, what truly separates companies that live customer centricity from those that use it as lip service? For Sarv Saravanan, Chief Customer Officer at Commvault, the answer lies in designing customer experience as an end-to-end operating model - one that connects product, engineering, partners, AI, and leadership around customer outcomes. In this episode of the Zinnov Podcast, Sarv joins Nitika Goel, Managing Partner & CMO, Zinnov, to discuss how customer experience is being redefined for speed, trust, and resilience. Sarv shares why customer centricity cannot sit in isolated functions or rely on bolt-on tools, but must be built into the product, operating model, partner ecosystem, and leadership culture. He also explores how AI is simplifying customer journeys, improving self-service, and empowering teams to focus on higher-value outcomes, while underscoring the need for governance, security, and trust. The conversation also examines how mature GCCs are strengthening customer proximity through faster product feedback, cross-functional collaboration, and outcome delivery. Tune in for a sharp conversation on what it takes to make customer centricity real in the AI era.

  The Courage to Build Right: An AI Reinvention Story Ft. Dinesh Venugopal, Tenarai

  Jun 23, 202625 min

  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.

In this episode of Zinnov Podcast, Kristine Henley, WW Head, Public Sector Partner Core at AWS, joins Rajat Kohli, Partner, Zinnov, to explore how SMBs are evolving, why many companies still misunderstand the segment, and what leaders need to do differently to build and scale successfully in the SMB market.
