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

And lots more!
