Most conversations about AI are either too technical for business leaders or too generic to be useful. What Comes Next with Arun fills that gap. Each episode translates real-world data and AI strategy into the language of competitive advantage — drawing on Arun’s 20+ years inside the world’s most complex enterprises, six years as a Microsoft Data & AI Executive, and his experience building Tipsora into a platform serving more than 95,000 professionals worldwide. This is not a podcast about AI tools. It is a podcast about building the organizational intelligence that makes tools matter.
Arun is founder and CEO of Tipsora, where he provides Fractional CTO services to organizations that lack a dedicated CTO. With a passion for technology and a deep understanding of the industry, Arun is committed to helping organizations unlock their full potential through data-driven insights and informed decision-making.

Ravi Bijlani is the founder and CEO of KYXStart.Ai, where he's building the trust and verification layer for the agentic era — the identity infrastructure that lets AI agents act, transact, and make decisions on our behalf without breaking down the trust humans rely on today. He works at the intersection of AI, identity, and security, and spends most of his time thinking about the gap nobody's solved yet: how do you verify who — or what — is actually on the other end of an autonomous decision.
