Welcome to the Innovator Coffee, a podcast that bridges the gap between people and the world of AI and innovation. Follow us to explore the top AI products, ecosystem insights, and the emerging trends.
In this episode of Innovative Coffee, host Wickey Wang and Tom, are joined by Pramod Gosavi, Investor @ Blumberg Capital in in Infrastructure, SaaS, AI, Cybersecurity.
In this podcast, we dive into the high stakes battle for enterprise dominance between Salesforce and ServiceNow. Titled "Platform Wars: Salesforce vs. ServiceNow", this conversation explores how these giants are positioning themselves as the foundational layer for agentic, AI-powered enterprise workflows. We’ll unpack their AI integration strategies, acquisitions, and long-term bets—while discussing the broader evolution of SaaS toward agentic platforms where UI fades and orchestration takes center stage. Joined by a special guest expert in enterprise AI, we’ll examine what startups should do to stay competitive, what the future of workflow platforms looks like, and who might emerge as the winner by 2027.
