AI, Manufacturing, and the Future of Business with Madhur Bedre

In this episode of the Kanawha Valley Hustlers podcast, I talk with Madhur Bedre to discuss his journey as an entrepreneur and how his company helps manufacturers improve production through process control and artificial intelligence. Madhur shares how his background in engineering led him to start his business seven years ago and how AI is helping manufacturers make better decisions and improve operations. We talk about the challenges of building a business, from hiring mistakes and customer relationships to navigating economic pressures and retaining employees in an industry where AI is creating new opportunities. Madhur also shares how his company developed and launched Atlas Advisor on a limited budget and why learning when to walk away from the wrong customers is an important lesson. We explore the value of networking with other business owners, adapting to change, and developing skills outside your area of expertise, including sales and marketing. Throughout our conversation, Madhur reminds us that success is never guaranteed, but surrounding yourself with the right people, learning from mistakes, and staying committed to your goals can make all the difference.
