Can Companies Use On-Demand Teams Instead Of Employees with Krishna Vardhan Reddy

What if the future of work isn’t about hiring more people—but about building smarter systems that scale on demand? What happens when cloud-based teams replace org charts, and companies optimize for outcomes instead of headcount? Can companies using on-demand teams instead of employees?

In this episode of The Future of Less Work, host Nirit Cohen sits down with Krishna Vardhan Reddy, founder and CEO of AiDOOS, to explore the seismic shift away from traditional employment toward distributed, project-based execution. Together, they dive into how organizations can unbundle work from jobs, rebuild delivery models in the cloud, and rethink the very structure
of the enterprise.

Krishna introduces the concept of the Virtual Delivery Center (VDC), a model that connects global talent to enterprise projects through AI-enabled, cloud-native workflows. You’ll hear how companies can shrink to their strategic core, orchestrate work through on-demand teams, and deploy AI as a productivity amplifier—not a replacement for people. From startup agility to
enterprise transformation, Krishna shares his vision of a borderless, outcome-driven world of work.

If you’ve ever wondered how to scale without hiring, what comes after the job description, or how AI and humans might truly collaborate in the next generation of work—this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
