AI Is Moving at 100 MPH. Your Company Probably Isn’t. ft. Sreedhar Peddineni

Sreedhar Peddineni has built companies through the internet, SaaS, cloud, and now AI, which makes his perspective especially valuable because he is not reacting to hype — he is comparing this shift to every major technology wave he has lived through. He argues that AI is moving far faster than most leaders and companies can absorb, and that the widening gap between what is possible and what teams are actually doing is becoming a serious competitive threat. His own experience growing GTM Buddy 3x without adding headcount shows what happens when AI moves out of demos and into the daily operating system of a company. The conversation gets practical fast, with real examples of how AI is changing strategy, financial planning, presentations, sales workflows, competitive research, and founder decision-making. For anyone in revenue, sales, or go-to-market, Sridhar breaks down why traditional sales enablement is failing and how AI can deliver the right insight at the exact moment a rep needs it. The takeaway is urgent: AI fluency is becoming a career requirement, and waiting for someone else to teach you may be the fastest way to fall behind.
