🎙️ 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.

We explore how his team is building modular AI agents using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), APIs, and business logic orchestration to drive tangible ROI.

We also unpack Raghu’s deep perspective on enterprise adoption cycles, AI hallucination mitigation, and the future of LLM-native workflows. With decades of experience across Fortune 100 firms, blockchain, and EdTech, Raghu shares hard-earned insights on what it really takes to ship AI in production at scale.
