About the show
Most conversations about AI are either too technical for business leaders or too generic to be useful. What Comes Next with Arun fills that gap. Each episode translates real-world data and AI strategy into the language of competitive advantage — drawing on Arun’s 20+ years inside the world’s most complex enterprises, six years as a Microsoft Data & AI Executive, and his experience building Tipsora into a platform serving more than 95,000 professionals worldwide. This is not a podcast about AI tools. It is a podcast about building the organizational intelligence that makes tools matter.
