In this episode of Built to Scale: B2B Growth, we sit down with Praveen Puram, CEO and Co-Founder of Spearsoft, an AI-led quality engineering company helping enterprises modernize testing, automation, and software reliability.

Praveen shares his journey from corporate leadership to entrepreneurship and explains how artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping quality engineering. We dive into why the focus is shifting from simply asking “did it work?” to predicting “will it work tomorrow?”, and how AI enables faster, smarter, and more resilient testing processes.

You will also hear Praveen’s practical guidance for CIOs and technology leaders evaluating AI initiatives, including how to prepare data, choose the right AI vendors, and avoid common implementation pitfalls.
