Watch our exclusive interview with Prukalpa Sankar, Founder and Co-CEO of Atlan.

What started as SocialCops, one of the largest data rollouts in #India’s history, evolved into Atlan - a modern data infrastructure company.

We started by exploring how the idea for Atlan was born, including the early #product assumptions behind building a #data collaboration and metadata platform that enables companies to truly understand their data.

We then discussed their early #sucess, growing organically from 100 to 500 users in just three months, and why they decided to #pivot and rebuild Atlan - highlighting the critical importance of #integrations and change management.

With the growing gap between #AI’s potential and the actual #ROI from it, we talked about the #AIchasm - from challenges around data readiness, context, and governance, to how solving these issues drives higher adoption.

As #context is king in #AI, we dove into one of their most revolutionary products, #AtlanAI, which brings business context directly into AI use cases.

Lastly, we explored their #DataQualityStudio and how this truly positions Atlan as a #platform, not just a single product.

And can you guess Prukalpa’s favorite #movie?🧙‍♂️🪄🎬
