AIP Podcast EP 84 - Turning Enterprise Data Into Actionable AI with Shyftlabs

This episode's guest, Shobhit Khandelwal, Founder and CEO of Shyftlabs, joins host Anne to explore the realities of building and deploying AI for enterprise organizations. Shobhit shares how his experiences at Citi, Jet.com, Walmart, and other technology companies shaped his approach to turning data into intelligence and action, and why Shyftlabs evolved from consulting into products like Carter, an AI powered retail media platform. He discusses the gap between impressive AI demos and reliable production systems, including the importance of latency, cost, reliability, transparency, and control. Shobhit also explains why people care less about data access than they do about how that data is being used, and how privacy, permission, and data lineage can be built directly into AI architecture. Plus, he shares where enterprises are wasting money on AI and offers practical advice for focusing on business outcomes rather than treating AI as a magic wand. Tune in to learn how Shyftlabs is helping organizations turn data into actionable intelligence across retail, financial services, healthcare, and the public sector.Follow AIP Partner, ShyftlabsWebsite: https://shyftlabs.io/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/shyftlabsio/Send us Feedback or Partnership InquiriesFollow AI PartnershipsWebsite: https://www.aipartnerships.aiLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/aipartnerships/X: https://twitter.com/AIPartnershipsThe AIP Podcast is hosted by Anne Cheng, on behalf of the AI Partnerships, a Railtown AI company.
