957: How AI Agents Are Automating Enterprise Data Operations, with Ashwin Rajeeva

Author: Jon Krohn January 13, 2026 Duration: 59:36
AI agents, data lakes, and managing data sprawl: Ashwin Rajeeva, cofounder and CTO of Acceldata, speaks to Jon Krohn about how the agentic data management startup raised over $100 million in venture capital to expand its business in automating data quality assurance as well as cataloguing and pipeline maintenance across enterprise environments. Acceldata utilizes multiple agents to solve enterprise-grade questions with company data. It also uses autonomous data pipelines that can detect and fix issues without human intervention, and the platform’s agentic data management system ADM also lets humans stay in the loop wherever needed.  This episode is brought to you by the ⁠⁠Dell⁠⁠, by ⁠⁠Intel⁠⁠, by Fabi and by Cisco.
