Host Jason Pereira sits down with Suvrat Bansal, CEO of Clarista, to discuss how financial firms can safely launch AI applications without getting tangled in massive data-engineering projects. Bansal explains how Clarista acts as a secure "data fabric", streaming information directly from a firm's existing software without forcing them to completely overhaul their databases or risk platform lock-in.

The conversation dives into how Clarista bridges the gap between fast AI development (like "vibe coding") and strict corporate realities, ensuring every app has ironclad data tracking, role-based security controls, and strict compliance audits. By providing a shared internal catalogue, the platform stops teams from accidentally building duplicate AI tools while helping wealth management firms quickly turn messy data into reliable, automated daily workflows.

This episode is a must-listen for operations leaders and CTOs at wealth management firms who want to build custom AI workflows quickly while maintaining rigorous corporate data governance.
