There are many changes impacting the hair and beauty business, and one area that is impacting every industry is the continual advancement and use of tech, particularly the advancement of AI.
Today's guest is Sudheer Koneru, co-founder of Zenoti Salon Software.
After a background working at Microsoft, Sudheer embraced semi-retirement, and after exploring yoga, meditation and the wellness industry, he became the owner of a small group of spas that incorporated salons, beauty, fitness and yoga.
Frustrated by the software solutions available at the time, Sudheer decided to develop his own, and Zenoti was the result.
Today Zenoti operates in over fifty countries in a total of approximately 30,000 businesses in the beauty and wellness industry.
In today’s podcast, we discuss:
👉 The role of AI in the salon industry today
👉 Predictions of the impact that AI will have in the immediate future
👉 The advantages of having only one piece of software that handles everything from being a point of sale and booking platform to all your marketing, management and business analytics…
And lots more!

What is Grow My Salon Business Podcast?
I know that being in business isn’t always easy. Along with the many highs and ‘a ha’ moments it can sometimes be soul destroying, frustrating and a very lonely place to be. Being a business owner is one of life’s greatest educations and it gives you two clear choices, either you continually learn, adapt and grow, or you resist change, stagnate and perish. We live in ever changing and sometimes challenging times, so being informed and constantly inspired is more important than ever.
Join Antony Whitaker talking to thought leaders on the business side of the hairdressing industry discussing insightful, provocative and inspiring ideas that matter. Get ready to learn, get ready to be challenged, get ready to be inspired and most importantly get ready to grow your salon business!
