On today’s episode, we’re talking with Rajitha Chaparala, VP of Product at Procore, a construction management solution and one of the most successful examples of vertical SaaS out there today.
In this episode, we discuss:

- Why Rajitha believes this is construction’s moment for AI, and how the shift from skepticism to curiosity happened almost overnight
