POPULARITY
Has enterprise AI finally reached the point where impressive demonstrations are no longer enough? In this episode, I speak with Murali Swaminathan, CTO at Freshworks, about the growing pressure on AI investments to deliver measurable business value. Murali has over 30 years of enterprise software experience, including roles at ServiceNow and CA, and now leads engineering and architecture teams at Freshworks. Murali believes the AI hype cycle is being replaced by an accountability cycle. Buyers want to understand reliability, governance, total cost of ownership, traceability, and the return generated by every deployment. They also want the ability to audit decisions, override outcomes, and use feedback to improve performance. Productivity alone provides an incomplete measure. Within service operations, companies can examine time to resolution, the volume of repetitive work automated, the number of issues completed without human intervention, and the quality of the employee's experience. Murali describes the difference between service-level agreements and experience-level agreements. Resolving a ticket within two minutes means very little if the employee's problem remains. The better question is whether AI completed the workflow and restored the person's ability to work. We also discuss why mid-market and agile enterprises provide a demanding test for AI. These companies have complex requirements but cannot absorb lengthy implementation programs, unclear pricing, or failed experiments. Murali recommends beginning with a limited process, measuring the result, establishing whether it can be repeated, and expanding only after it has proved reliable. Architecture plays an important role. Murali argues that ease of use begins beneath the interface. Configuration-led platforms can be upgraded as new capabilities arrive, while heavily customized systems can leave companies trapped on older releases. Autonomous service operations do not require removing people from every process. Murali uses the example of a printer incident. AI can read the ticket, classify the problem, route it to IT or facilities, and apply an automated fix when a trusted process exists. People retain responsibility for unusual, uncertain, or higher-risk decisions. Scaling this model requires cloud infrastructure that respects regional data residency, privacy, encryption, routing, and audit requirements. AI requests and diagnostic logs must remain within the correct geographic and regulatory boundaries. The conversation concludes with engineering skills. AI coding tools can generate software quickly, but engineers must understand architecture, usability, testing, and customer requirements. Companies also need rules determining which code can be reviewed by AI and which changes require human approval. Is your company measuring whether AI genuinely improves service operations, or is it counting deployments and calling that progress? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts with me.

As enterprises expand across multiple cloud environments, on-premise data centers, and dynamic AI workloads, traditional perimeter defenses and siloed cloud-native tools are no longer enough to secure the modern network. In this episode, Ashish sits down with Murali Rathinasamy, Senior Director of Product at Cisco, to break down the next evolution of network security: the Hybrid Mesh Firewall. Murali explains why relying solely on cloud-native firewalls can create visibility gaps, and how unified policy orchestration allows security teams to manage enforcement points seamlessly. He shares a real-world case study of how Multicloud Defense is used to eliminate manual route table configurations and achieve zero-downtime, blue-green upgrades. The conversation also tackles micro-segmentation. Murali breaks down why segmentation initiatives usually stall in "analysis paralysis" and provides a practical, agentless roadmap to reduce your attack surface "one bite at a time".

Enterprise customers demand 99.9% availability, regardless of how the underlying software is built. In this episode, Murali Swaminathan (CTO @ Freshworks) discusses how enterprises actually win with AI! We explore the “Architecture of Predictability” – proactive architectural safeguards to scale “responsible AI by design” across a global organization serving 75,000 customers. Murali shares his leadership playbook for implementing the technical safeguards and product trust controls that empower hundreds of engineers to build safely. We also dive into the shift from deterministic flowcharts to “workflows with a brain” and why backend systems engineers are the secret bedrock of agentic products. Plus, Murali deconstructs the dual evolution required of modern leaders: mastering strategic thinking at the business level while cultivating systems thinking at the engineering level. ABOUT MURALI SWAMINATHAN Murali Swaminathan joined Freshworks as Chief Technology Officer in September 2024. Murali is responsible for Freshworks' technology roadmap and strategy, leading the company's global engineering and architecture teams.

Nella puntata odierna diamo spazio a due interessanti appuntamenti che ci permettono di scavare nel nostro passato, fra tradizioni popolari, fede, manufatti, testimonianze materiali e artistiche, viaggi e pellegrinaggi.Con Francesca Luisoni, storica e collaboratrice scientifica del Centro di dialettologia e di etnografia, parliamo di una nuova serie di escursioni nelle valli del Ticino, organizzata dal Centro di dialettologia e di etnografia, a margine della pubblicazione del volume “Sguardi divini. Cappelle e dipinti murali devozionali del Sopraceneri”. Le cappelle e i dipinti murali devozionali sono fra le testimonianze culturali che più caratterizzano le valli ticinesi, ma siamo a tal punto abituati alla loro presenza che quasi non le percepiamo più. Eppure, nel solo Sopraceneri oggi se ne contano ancora 3'621! Le edicole e gli affreschi sono perlopiù segni materiali di devozione, voluti da individui, famiglie o gruppi per invocare la protezione divina. Sono posti negli abitati e lungo le vie che li collegano ai campi, ai pascoli e ai maggenghi, e non di rado si collocano in posizioni ben visibili fin da grandi distanze.Con Lavinia Galli, storica dell'arte e curatrice della mostra “Meraviglie del Grand Tour”, ci occupiamo invece di questa esposizione che è visitabile presso il Museo Poldi Pezzoli di Milano fino al 4 maggio 2026 e che ha dato lo spunto per una interessante conferenza, che si terrà il 22 aprile prossimo e che è intitolata “Alle radici dell'Occidente, fra Europa e Svizzera”, promossa dall'ASASI, l'Associazione delle storiche e degli storici d'arte della Svizzera italiana, nella quale si parlerà del celebre itinerario del Grand Tour, il celebre viaggio di formazione che a partire dalla fine del XVI secolo portò numerosi viaggiatori a scoprire l'arte e la cultura europee. Il Grand Tour non era soltanto una forma di turismo dell'epoca, ma una pratica di viaggio che portava giovani aristocratici e intellettuali, fossero essi inglesi, tedeschi, scandinavi o d'altrove, attraverso le capitali dell'arte e della civiltà continentale. Si trattava di un percorso che segnava il gusto estetico e la formazione culturale delle classi dirigenti europee, un pellegrinaggio verso le radici dell'Occidente, passando dal nostro Paese. In questo affascinante itinerario, la Svizzera, in effetti, occupava un ruolo tutt'altro che marginale. Porta naturale verso il Sud attraverso i grandi valichi alpini — il Sempione, il San Gottardo e il Gran San Bernardo — la Confederazione era una tappa obbligata per i viaggiatori. Le città svizzere offrivano ospitalità, contatti intellettuali e paesaggi sublimi che cominciavano ad alimentare la nascente sensibilità romantica per la montagna. La conferenza di Lugano offrirà l'occasione per esplorare anche questo ruolo della Svizzera nelle rotte e nell'immaginario del Grand Tour.

Have you ever seen a points deal that looked too good to be true? 250 Avios per dollar spent. 240 American Airlines miles per dollar. Those kinds of multipliers make you do a double-take and for good reason. Deals like these are as enticing as they are uncertain. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Sujatha Murali to talk about what I call points earning unicorns—rare, outsized opportunities where the upside can be enormous, but the outcome is far from guaranteed. We break down how to think through the risk versus reward when these deals appear, the psychological traps that make them so hard to resist, and the framework we use to decide whether to jump in or sit one out. Sujatha and I walk through real examples, including my decision to take advantage of the Simply Miles deal that netted me over 1.1 million American Airlines miles, and our decisions around the recent Kate Spade 250x Avios opportunity. We discuss how to evaluate whether you can actually use the points you're considering buying, the importance of reading terms and conditions even when you're excited, and how to build your own decision-making process. If you've ever wondered whether one of these deals is the opportunity of a lifetime or just a really expensive mistake, this episode gives you a framework for thinking it through.

How do you find a pick me up for your relationship during crazy times? These are 25 more ways to show love - simple and fun!
Kumar Sangakkara is one of cricket's greatest legends, known for his unparalleled skill, leadership, and transformative philosophy. In this episode, Kumar joins Jake and Damian to share the key moments and philosophies that shaped his career both on and off the field, offering a profound perspective on performance, identity, and resilience.Kumar explains how this philosophy shaped his approach to coaching and his own career, emphasising that separating who you are from what you do allows for greater perspective, freedom, and calm.

Kako pravzaprav vrednotiti ulično likovno umetnost? Kako pomemben del naše kulturne dediščine so grafiti, murali in druge poslikave, ki jih najdemo na ljubljanski Metelkovi?Grafiti zavzemajo precej dvoumno mesto v očeh javnosti. Če so po mnenju nekaterih pravzaprav eklatanten primer vandalizma in simptom širše družbene dekadence, nekakšnega celostnega razkroja moralnih vrednot, pa drugi v njih, nasprotno, prepoznavajo dragoceno pričevanje, nepogrešljivo družbeno-politično intervencijo oziroma že kar ključen umetniški izraz deklasiranih slojev, ki o sebi in svojem položaju v svetu nočejo ali ne morejo govoriti kako drugače, saj nimajo dostopa do akademij, galerij, muzejev, založb in tiskarn, vseh tistih institucij, skratka, ki služijo ustvarjalkam in ustvarjalcem iz socialnih okoljih, ki so pač nekoliko višje na družbeni hierarhični lestvici. Ta ambivalenca v našem odnosu do grafitov se je, če dobro premislimo, v zadnjih nekaj desetletjih kvečjemu še poglobila. Dela kolikor anonimnega toliko razvpitega Banksyja, bržčas najbolj slavnega uličnega umetnika na svetu, katerega prava identiteta ostaja skrbno varovana skrivnost, se, denimo, na dražbah zdaj prodajajo za milijone. Po drugi strani pa je nedavna odločitev ljubljanske policije, da z grafiti že dolgo porisano Metelkovo z okolico razglasi za varnostno tvegano območje, slej ko prej potrdila najhujše sume in strahove vseh tistih, ki imajo od vsega najraje neomadeževane fasade – kakor da bi veljala enačba, da tam, kjer so grafiti, je pač tudi kriminal. Nič čudnega, skratka, če je antropologinja dr. Helena Konda svojo knjigo Mizzart in Strip Core : proto street art na Slovenskem (Založba Univerze v Ljubljani), v kateri pretresa delovanje dveh umetniških, grafitarskih kolektivov – Mizzarta in Strip Cora, kajpada – v 80. in 90. letih prejšnjega stoletja, začela s temle stavkom: »Umetnost na ulicah obstaja, odkar obstajajo ulice, spreminjajo pa se njene pojavne oblike in položaj v družbenem vrednostnem sistemu.« Kako torej vrednotiti grafite oziroma, širše, ulično umetnost? Še bolj konkretno: kako pomemben del naše kulturne dediščine so grafiti in murali na ljubljanski Metelkovi? – To je vprašanje, ki nas je zaposlovalo v tokratnem Kulturnem fokusu, ko smo pred mikrofonom gostili prav Heleno Konda.
