Forging The Future with Chris Howard · 2026-04-09 · 33 min
Episode Summary: Amanpreet Kaur, Chief AI and Technology Officer of Equipt.ai, breaks down the so-called “SaaS-pocalypse” and argues that SaaS isn’t dying, it’s evolving into smarter, AI-embedded systems of execution. Amanpreet explains how traditional SaaS created fragmentation and operational friction, and how Equipt.ai is rebuilding the stack by unifying workflows, data, and decision-making into a single AI-driven execution layer. Drawing from her experience in asset-heavy industries like energy, Aman shares how their platform replaces multiple disconnected tools while enabling real-time, guided operations from quote to cash. She also reflects on the early startup journey, from landing their first enterprise customer to navigating investor skepticism and refining their positioning. A key shift is undoubtedly taking place: the future belongs to agentic SaaS platforms that reduce human intervention and turn software into an active driver of business outcomes.
