The Success Revenue Podcast

Are you building something real - or just keeping up with the noise?

Vinit Mehta has spent 24 years following where the internet goes next. From selling diamonds through Amazon and early e-commerce platforms in post-9/11 New York, to streaming on buses across India, to now running Pressplay Capital and working with Agora on real-time conversational AI across the Middle East - his track record isn't built on being in the right place. It's built on having the conviction to move before the market catches up.

In this conversation, Vinit challenges the way most leaders think about AI adoption. It's not about digital transformation. It's about proving ROI - and knowing what to do when everyone around you is pitching the same promise.

You'll walk away with a clearer lens on where AI is actually creating value, where it's stalling, and what separates leaders who get real outcomes from those still running pilots.

You'll learn:
  • Why proving ROI beats selling transformation - and how smart Middle East buyers are already calling that bluff
  • What the PGA Tour, MLB, and NFL got right about AI in live sports that most organizations are still missing
  • How strong leadership (not data strategy) is the real differentiator between companies winning with AI and those stuck in pilots
  • Why real-time, voice-first AI in non-English markets is the biggest untapped opportunity most builders are ignoring
  • What "saying yes before you're ready" actually looks like in practice - and why resourcefulness still beats a polished resume
  • (00:00) - AI in Sports: A New Era
  • (07:38) - A Journey Through Tech and Media
  • (14:43) - Resilience and Resourcefulness in Business
  • (18:24) - Building Credibility in New Markets
  • (23:08) - Overcoming Barriers to AI Adoption
  • (26:32) - The Sports Industry's AI Revolution
  • (32:13) - Data Readiness: The Key to AI Success
  • (35:05) - Investing in the Attention Economy
