Ravi shares his vision for a future where AI acts not as a replacement but as an equalizer, a tool that amplifies human potential, sparks innovation, and creates new pathways for lifelong learning. Together, they discuss the rise of “agentic capital,” the growing value of non-STEM and interdisciplinary skills, and why agility, curiosity, and continuous learning will define the next generation of leaders.

Welcome to a special bonus episode of Future Back Drinking!

As we wrapped our first season, there was one last conversation we couldn’t keep to ourselves. On this episode, host Dr. Athina Kanioura sits down with Marc Benioff, Chair, CEO, and Co-Founder of Salesforce, and the owner of TIME. Marc has not only shaped the modern cloud landscape but has redefined what it means to lead with purpose in an age of relentless technological change.

In this dynamic discussion, they unpack the potential of agentic AI, Salesforce’s bold new Agentforce platform, what it takes to build (and maintain) trust, and why corporate philanthropy should be baked into every business model from day one. Marc also shares how AI is transforming decision-making at Salesforce, and why he believes the company’s most exciting chapter is just beginning. Tune in for an honest, future-facing conversation with one of tech’s boldest innovators - and a deeper look at how vision, values, and AI are reshaping the enterprise landscape.
