🎙️ In this episode, we chat with Raghu Bala — CEO of Synergestics, a cutting-edge AI company building vertical LLM agents for enterprises. Raghu brings a rare blend of corporate scale and startup scrappiness, with a background spanning executive roles at Yahoo, Infospace, and General Electric, as well as teaching at MIT and leading multiple AI ventures.
