In this insightful episode of The Innovators & Investors Podcast, host Kristian Marquez sits down with Vikram Srinivasan, co-founder and CEO of Needl.ai, to explore how AI-driven search technology is transforming enterprise decision-making.
Vikram shares the origin story of Needl.ai and its mission to help CXOs, CFOs, and CEOs cut through the overwhelming noise of disparate and complex data sources to find the precise information they need—the proverbial “needle in the haystack.”
Drawing from his academic background and previous entrepreneurial success in AI-powered search, Vikram explains the challenges of enterprise search compared to internet-scale search engines like Google, emphasizing the importance of accuracy, reliability, and customization to meet unique business needs.
The conversation delves into Needl.ai’s traction in financial services and consulting industries, leveraging generative AI to surface actionable insights, and the necessity of close collaboration with clients for tuning the solution. Vikram also offers his perspective on the global market, explaining why the U.S. remains the most promising arena for enterprise tech innovation and venture growth, while reflecting on cultural differences between India and the U.S. in risk-taking and company culture. He candidly discusses the startup journey, product-market fit, and the transition from product-led growth to high-touch enterprise sales.
Toward the end, Vikram shares valuable founder lessons, the importance of patience with investors, and his long-term vision for Needl.ai as a foundational company. This episode is a must-listen for entrepreneurs, investors, and business leaders keen on AI innovation, enterprise software, and the evolving future of decision intelligence.
