Why Enterprise AI Struggles to Reach Production | Inside CoreWeave’s Playbook
How do you scale enterprise AI without turning access, governance, and production readiness into bottlenecks? In this episode, Prashant Motewar, Head of Business Technology and enabling Data/AI at CoreWeave, joins Jas Kaur to share how CoreWeave is democratizing AI across the organization, giving employees access to AI tools, enterprise data, and a structured path to build, deploy, and improve internal applications. The conversation explores how business users are becoming AI builders, how CoreWeave moves ideas from experimentation to production, and how security guardrails, MCP-enabled context, observability, and governance are built into the process. Prashanth also explains CoreWeave’s approach to build vs. buy, why AI usage can signal which applications are solving meaningful business problems, and why speed with precision matters when scaling AI. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 - Scaling enterprise AI beyond adoption 02:57 - From Equinix to CoreWeave: Democratizing AI 05:08 - CoreWeave’s AI platform: Tools, context and internal apps 10:12 - Speed, business engineers and low-friction adoption 18:50 - Enterprise AI use cases and the build-vs-buy decision 22:43 - Scaling AI enablement and predictive data center operations 25:39 - Governance by design, token usage and app support 28:56 - Leadership, AI culture and what drives innovation --------- ️ Guest: Prashant Motewar, Head - Business Technology, and enabling Data/AI at CoreWeave Prashant Motewar is a transformational IT executive leading enterprise systems, data, and AI enablement at CoreWeave.
