AI isn't the future — it's the present. In this episode, Rajeev Sajja, Chief AI Officer at BrightMLS, reveals that 61% of consumers are already using AI to evaluate agents — and nearly all of them find it helpful. He breaks down exactly how agents can show up in AI search by optimizing their bio, reviews, and content for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). You'll also learn practical use cases for AI in listing prep, marketing, and data analysis — plus a simple 30-day challenge to build real AI skill fast. If you're not adapting to AI, you're falling behind.
In this episode of Rajeev's Corner, I dive into the newly proposed 24-team College Football Playoff format backed by the Big Ten — and why I absolutely love the idea. From more meaningful late-season games to incredible campus playoff environments and expanded access across college football, I explain why this proposal could actually be great for the sport.Then we shift to Wisconsin basketball, where the Badgers have once again finished off a strong Big Ten regular season. It's time to talk about Greg Gard and the consistency he's brought to the program. Wisconsin fans sometimes take the program's high floor for granted, but Gard has quietly built one of the most reliable teams in the conference year after year.More playoff football, another strong Badgers season, and a little perspective on why both might deserve more appreciation.If you enjoy Wisconsin sports talk and thoughtful college football discussion, Rajeev's Corner is the place for it.Help The Bucky Report get some feedback!

Everyone talks about AI agents. Very few talk about what they actually change inside enterprises. At the DataDriven Conference, Ravit Jain sat down with Rajeev Krishnan from PwC to unpack what the agentic shift really means for data, governance, and Master Data Management.PwC and Reltio have been working together for years, but the conversation is now moving beyond implementations to real business outcomes. Rajeev shared how their Agent OS ecosystem is being integrated with Reltio to deploy agents that handle tasks data teams have struggled with for years. Things like resolving match queues, auto-classifying records, and improving data quality without constant manual effort.What makes this important is simple. Enterprises already know they need trusted master data. The challenge has always been the operational burden required to maintain it. Agentic AI is starting to change that equation by reducing operational cost while strengthening the data foundation needed for AI-driven decisions.We also discussed what leaders are wrestling with in 2026. Two themes stood out.First, governance is no longer just about data. It is about governing data in the age of AI.Second, organizations are facing a real tension between using data to power AI and using AI to fix their data. The right path depends on the use case, not a one size fits all strategy.It was a grounded conversation about how enterprises are moving from AI experiments to operational impact.#data #ai #datadriven #reltio #theravitshow

Date February 22, 2026 Synopsis In this sermon, we explore the tension between our modern obsession with certainty and the ancient invitation to walk by faith. Using the story of Jesus in the wilderness, we see how the tempter's demand for proof is a trap designed to replace intimacy with control. True reenchantment isn't found in five-star guarantees or "crystal stairs," but in the dark corners where we finally stop demanding data and start reaching for a hand to hold. If you've been waiting for a sign before you're willing to believe, this is an invitation to loosen your grip, embrace the mystery, and find the new life that only begins in the dark.

Wisconsin basketball may be hitting its stride at exactly the right time. In this episode of Rajeev's Corner, we dive into the Badgers' late-season surge and the real, visible progression this team has made throughout the year. From lineup growth and smarter execution to improved confidence and identity, the positive changes are starting to show on the court.This isn't just about winning games — it's about trajectory. The Badgers look more connected, more confident, and more dangerous than they did earlier in the season, and it's creating real belief that Wisconsin could make a legitimate run in March.Are the Badgers truly peaking at the perfect time? How real is the growth? And what would it take for this team to turn momentum into a deep March push?Let's talk about where Wisconsin stands — and why hope is rising in Madison.Help The Bucky Report get some feedback!

Transcript:Hi: सर्दियों की ठंडी सुबह थी, रिवाजों और आध्यात्मिकता से भरा हुआ शहर ऋषिकेश बस जाग रहा था।En: It was a cold winter morning, and the city of Rishikesh, brimming with traditions and spirituality, was just waking up.Hi: गंगा के घाटों पर हल्की धुंध फैली हुई थी, और हवा में चाय की ताज़ी खुशबू तैर रही थी।En: A light mist spread over the Ganga ghats, and the fresh aroma of tea wafted through the air.Hi: राजीव और प्रीति इस शांत शहर में एक किराए की गाड़ी से पहुंचे थे, जहाँ उन्हें गंगा आरती के भव्य आयोजन में भाग लेना था।En: Rajeev and Preeti had arrived in this serene city in a rented car, where they were to partake in the grand celebration of the Ganga Aarti.Hi: राजीव चिंतित था।En: Rajeev was worried.Hi: उसके मन में अनगिनत बातें घूम रही थीं।En: Countless thoughts were swirling in his mind.Hi: वह सोच रहा था, कैसे वो प्रीति के साथ अपनी गलतफहमी को दूर करे।En: He was contemplating how to resolve his misunderstanding with Preeti.Hi: वही प्रीति, जो उसके सबसे अच्छे दोस्तों में से एक थी।En: Preeti, one of his best friends.Hi: लेकिन हाल के दिनों में किसी विवाद ने उनकी दोस्ती पर असर डाल दिया था।En: But in recent days, a disagreement had cast a shadow on their friendship.Hi: प्रीति, जो सामान्यतः चुलबुली और उत्साही होती थी, आज कुछ शांत दिख रही थी।En: Preeti, who was usually bubbly and enthusiastic, appeared a bit quiet today.Hi: बस गंगा की ओर देख रही थी।En: She was just looking at the Ganga.Hi: विलक्षण दृश्य था—एक ओर महापुरुषों की प्राचीन कथाएं, दूसरी ओर एक मित्रता का ये उलझा हुआ संबंध।En: It was a remarkable sight—on one hand, ancient stories of great sages, and on the other hand, this tangled relationship of friendship.Hi: शाम को, राजीव प्रीति को गंगा के एक शांत कोने में ले गया।En: In the evening, Rajeev took Preeti to a quiet corner of the Ganga.Hi: ऋषिकेश की शांति का असर दोनों पर पड़ रहा था।En: The tranquility of Rishikesh was affecting them both.Hi: राजीव ने धीरे से कहा, "प्रीति, मुझे तुमसे बात करनी है।En: Rajeev softly said, "Preeti, I need to talk to you.Hi: शायद मैंने कुछ गलत समझा।En: Perhaps I misunderstood something.Hi: मुझसे उम्मीद है कि हम इस गलतफहमी को दूर कर सकते हैं।En: I hope we can sort out this misunderstanding."Hi: "प्रीति ने राजीव के चेहरे को देखा।En: Preeti looked at Rajeev's face.Hi: वहां उसके लिए ईमानदारी थी।En: There was honesty for her there.Hi: वह कुछ क्षणों के लिए चुप रही।En: She remained silent for a few moments.Hi: फिर बोली, "शायद मैंने भी बात को सही से नहीं समझा।En: Then she said, "Maybe I didn't understand things correctly either.Hi: मुझे लगा था कि तुम मुझे गलत समझते हो।En: I felt you misunderstood me."Hi: "गंगा आरती का समय हो चुका था।En: It was time for the Ganga Aarti.Hi: घाटों पर हजारों दीपक तैर रहे थे।En: Thousands of lamps floated on the ghats.Hi: आसपास घंटियों की ध्वनि और मंत्रोच्चारण का पवित्र संगीत गूंज रहा था।En: The sound of bells and the sacred music of mantras echoed around.Hi: यह पावन माहौल उन्हें और करीब ले आया।En: This holy atmosphere brought them closer.Hi: राजीव ने साहस जुटाकर अपने भावनाओं को व्यक्त किया, "प्रीति, ये मेरे लिए बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है।En: Rajeev gathered the courage to express his feelings, "Preeti, this is very important to me.Hi: मैं तुम्हारे साथ अपना जीवन और बेहतर बनाना चाहता हूँ।En: I want to make a better life with you."Hi: "प्रीति ने भी अपनी भावनाओं को खुलकर राजीव के सामने रखा।En: Preeti also openly shared her feelings with Rajeev.Hi: उसने महसूस किया कि खुलकर बात करना कितना ज़रूरी था।En: She realized how essential it was to talk openly.Hi: उनकी गहरी नजरें गंगा के बढ़ते शिखरों के पार मिल गईं, और उन दोनों ने अपने दिलों में सुलग रहे विचारों को साझा किया।En: Their profound gazes met beyond the rising crests of the Ganga, and they shared the thoughts simmering in their hearts.Hi: गंगा का शांत प्रवाह और दीपकों की रौशनी ने दोस्ती के इस बंधन को और मजबूत बना दिया।En: The calm flow of the Ganga and the light of the lamps strengthened the bond of friendship.Hi: अब उनमें नई समझदारी थी, एक नई शुरुआत की उम्मीद थी।En: They now had a new understanding, a hope for a fresh beginning.Hi: दोनों ने ठंड की हवा में गंगा की तरफ हाथ जोड़कर एक नई शुरुआत का प्रण लिया।En: Both joined their hands towards the Ganga in the cold wind, pledging a new beginning.Hi: अब रंगीन और आध्यात्मिक ऋषिकेश को छोड़, वे अपने रिश्ते का नया अध्याय लिखने के लिए तैयार थे।En: Now, leaving behind the colorful and spiritual Rishikesh, they were ready to write a new chapter in their relationship.Hi: उस रात, जब गंगा आरती समाप्त हुई और अंतिम दीपकों ने उन्हें अलविदा कहा, राजीव और प्रीति की दोस्ती एक नए मुहाने पर खड़ी थी, पुख्ता और स्पष्ट।En: That night, when the Ganga Aarti concluded and the last lamps bid them farewell, Rajeev and Preeti's friendship stood at a new juncture, solid and clear.Hi: सर्दी की वह रात उनके रिश्ते में गर्माहट ले आई।En: The cold night brought warmth to their relationship.Hi: यही तो मित्रता और सच की असली सुंदरता थी।En: This was the true beauty of friendship and truth.

Rajeev Goel, CEO of PubMatic, joins Ari Paparo and Eric Franchi to discuss how agentic AI and AdCP are reshaping the media buying process, collapsing the ad tech value chain, and creating new opportunities for publishers and advertisers to compete with walled gardens. Takeaways Agentic AI can automate planning, buying, and optimization beyond today's DSP workflows. PubMatic's AgenticOS lets advertisers transact through AI agents using AdCP. AI efficiency may grow digital ad spend and shift more ROI budgets to the open internet. Seller agents and marketplaces could help publishers unlock demand without big sales teams. The open web will compete better with stronger identity, measurement, and a simpler supply chain.

Rajeev Kulkarni was an early 3D Systems employee. He would spend 29 years at 3D Systems and was their VP of Corporate Strategy, CPO Printer Products, Manager of their Desktop Solutions business, VP of Global Engineering & R&D, and more. If we only discuss that storied career, we’d barely scratch the surface in this podcast. But, later Rajeev goes on to be on the board of Ackuretta, the board of Caracol, and is now the Chief Strategy Officer of Axtra3D. An hour was far far too short indeed. But, in that hour we got a lot of insight from Rajeev and I just know that this will be valuable to you. This episode of the 3DPOD is brought to you by Materialise, a global leader in 3D printed medical software and devices, and additive manufacturing software and services. With decades of expertise, Materialise supports highly regulated and high-demand sectors, from healthcare to aerospace and beyond.
I'm leaning all the way into the optimism on this episode of Rajeev's Corner. Wisconsin football feels like it has real momentum coming out of the transfer portal, and the energy around the program is trending up in a way we haven't felt in a while. At the same time, Wisconsin basketball is starting to gel, stacking wins, and looking more like a team that knows exactly who it wants to be.Am I being a little too hopeful? Maybe. But that's kind of the point. Sometimes being a fan means hopping on the hype train, enjoying the momentum, and believing in where things might be headed.

On tonight's Rajeev's Corner, I'm digging into the College Sports Commission Participation Agreement — why it's being called a power grab, why some states are pushing back, and what it could mean for schools, conferences and the future of college sports enforcement.Then we get into LATEST NEWS on the CFP expansion battle: the Big Ten's audacious 24-team dream, the SEC's 16-team preference, and why this disagreement could keep the College Football Playoff format stuck at 12 teams unless leaders find common ground by January 23rdReal analysis. Real implications. Real power plays shaping college athletics.
In this episode of Rajeev's Corner, I talk through how the Badgers have handled the portal so far, what “showing the money” actually looks like, and why additions like Joseph stand out.I also zoom out to compare Wisconsin's approach to other major programs, ask whether this truly reflects top-third investment, and look ahead to what comes next. Plus, I dive into the Demond Williams situation — and why parallels to Xavier Lucas keep reinforcing my belief that college sports desperately need guardrails.Help The Bucky Report get some feedback!

College football has changed — and the programs that thrive are the ones that are aligned, organized, and communicating clearly at every level. In this episode of Rajeev's Corner, I share some concerning insight into how communication may be breaking down between Wisconsin's administration, football staff, and players.With the transfer portal reshaping rosters overnight and the modern era demanding speed and clarity, the question becomes unavoidable: is Wisconsin structured well enough to compete in this new landscape? This is an honest conversation about alignment, leadership, and whether the Badgers are truly built for what college sports has become.Help The Bucky Report get some feedback!

Most founders dream about the day they can finally “retire.” But what happens when you actually get there, and it's not what you thought it would be?In this episode of Founder Talk, Dr. Rajeev Khanna, a former sports medicine physician who built and sold a thriving medical practice, shares how stepping away from work left him feeling restless, unfulfilled, and without purpose. After decades of treating athletes and employees across 700 companies, retirement hit harder than he expected until he found his next mission.Instead of coasting, Dr. Khanna came back to build CompCore Pro, a software company that helps businesses save millions by fixing the broken workers' compensation system. His company acts as a bridge between doctors, employers, and insurance carriers; cutting delays, improving patient outcomes, and ensuring injured employees get the right care faster and more affordably.We dive into how he turned boredom into a billion-dollar problem to solve, why the healthcare system is collapsing under middlemen, and how staying curious and purpose-driven is the real antidote to burnout.Dr. Khanna also breaks down the state of American health, from our sedentary lifestyles to the rise of convenience culture, and what both founders and everyday people can do to reverse it.You'll learn: ✅ Why chasing retirement can leave you emptier than you expect ✅ How to rebuild purpose after “success” ✅ What's broken in America's healthcare system (and how he's fixing it) ✅ How CompCore Pro is helping companies cut costs and care for employees faster ✅ Why curiosity and contribution matter more than comfortIf you've been searching “what to do after selling your business,” “how to find purpose after success,” or “why retirement isn't what it seems,” this episode delivers the truth. Because for some founders, freedom isn't the finish line — it's the start of what's next.Connect with Rajeev Khanna, M.D.Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajeev-khannamd/Guest Website: https://compcorepro.com/If you are a B2B company that wants to build your own in-house content team instead of outsourcing your content to a marketing agency, we may be a fit for you!

Wisconsin's 24–10 loss at Michigan may have added another “L” to the record, but it also gave us our first real look at Hunter Simmons running this Badger offense — and there's plenty to unpack. Simmons showed flashes of composure, accuracy, and leadership, even behind an offensive line that continues to struggle in protection. We'll break down what he did well, where the timing and reads still need work, and whether he's earned another start heading into the Iowa game next week at Camp Randall.Then we're getting into the decisions that had Badger fans fuming — from the conservative second-half play-calling to the late-game clock management that left timeouts on the board. Was Luke Fickell playing not to lose? Or did he simply not trust this offense yet? We'll dissect what it says about the current coaching mindset and whether adjustments are finally coming.And yes — there's still reason for optimism. The Wisconsin defense battled all afternoon, holding Michigan to just ten points in the first half and keeping the Badgers within reach until late in the fourth. We'll highlight the players who stood out, what Jim Leonhard (or Mike Tressel, depending on context) has cooking schematically, and why this performance could be a real turning point heading into the Big Ten West grind.It's not all doom and gloom — this one felt different. We're talking Simmons' poise, the coaching heat, and the defensive fight that might finally give this team a new identity.
“When I saw Google change the destiny of the planet, I could not imagine doing anything else but working with brilliant entrepreneurs.”-Asha Jadeja Motwani and her husband, Rajeev Motwani, the Silicon Valley legend of technical startups, are together the founding stakeholders of Google.In the late 1990s, they came to the United States as most Indians, as students. From being part of Google's early days to their journey as investors and now, extending that into an active participation in American politics. She speaks about Rajeev's pivotal role in mentoring Larry Page and Sergey Brin, co-authoring the PageRank paper, and helping shape Google's DNA. Today, through the Motwani Jadeja Foundation, Asha continues to build on that legacy; funding entrepreneurs, supporting Indian voices in global think tanks, and opening doors at Davos and Washington. Asha also reflects on how the Indian diaspora can play a far greater role in shaping the future of India-US partnership and why entrepreneurs are critical to the future of this relationship.If you're an entrepreneur building in the India–US corridor, or curious about the opportunities the two nations are creating for startups, then this episode is for you.00:00 – Trailer01:25 – How Rajeev became founding stakeholder of Google03:48 – The early days of Google: first office to first funding07:52 – Investments of Dot Edu Ventures10:03 – Asha's role in American politics10:45 – How Indians in Silicon Valley can strengthen US–India corridor12:18 – The lack of Indian scholars in think tanks13:14 – Do Indians have enough influence in American politics?13:52 – Is Silicon Valley & the Indian diaspora shifting right?15:00 – The impact of Trump on India–US relations17:36 – Asha's role in opening doors for India globally21:09 – How the Motwani Foundation selects projects and people24:08 – Entrepreneurs as a critical part of US–India value creation24:54 – What's missing in US–India value creation?26:33 – Report on “jailed for doing business” in India27:56 – The legacy of Rajeev Motwani-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

As more companies push AI in their workplaces, the technology is rapidly reshaping the way many of us do our jobs. But a lot of people — from entry-level employees to the C-Suite — are still in the dark about the limits of AI, its best uses, and how to make it work for them. We called in a panel of AI experts to answer some our listeners' burning questions about how to use it at work: Sayash Kapoor, co-author of the book AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Can Do, What it Can't, and How to Tell the Difference and the Substack AI as Normal Technology; Rajeev Kapur, CEO of 1105 Media and author of the book AI Made Simple: A Beginner's Guide to Generative Intelligence; and futurist and author Amy Webb, founder and CEO of the consulting firm Future Today Strategy Group. Kara, Sayash, Rajeev and Amy break down everything from how vibe coding works to thornier questions around privacy and regulation. They talk about how young people can prepare themselves to enter the workforce, and how all of us can develop skills to stay relevant. And, of course, they weigh in on the question so many of us are asking right now: Is AI coming for my job? Questions? Comments?
