Five years after a splashy IPO and amid a bruising market reset, Sridhar Ramaswamy is steering Snowflake through a defining moment for enterprise technology: the AI transition. In this episode, hosts Samidha Sharma and Pranav Mukul talk to Snowflake’s CEO and former Google advertising chief to cut through the hype around artificial intelligence and focus on where the real value lies. Ramaswamy makes a clear case for why AI has sharply increased the premium on clean, well-governed enterprise data and why Snowflake positions itself not as an AI company, but as the intelligence layer that makes AI practical at scale. He speaks candidly about Snowflake’s late entry into AI, its rapid catch-up through partnerships with model builders like OpenAI, and how its consumption-based model offers resilience in volatile tech cycles. The conversation also spans the AI bubble debate, the future of search beyond Google’s dominance, and India’s growing importance as a strategic growth and execution hub for Snowflake.
