From AMI to AI, what really works
Conversations at the intersection of utilities, data, and AI.
A WorkOnGrid original podcast, hosted by Sudeep Purohit.
About Grid Dialogues
Grid Dialogues brings together utility leaders, engineers, and innovators to explore how modern utilities run end to end.
From deploying AMI at scale and building Smart Meter Operations Centers to connecting OT/IT systems (HES/MDM, SCADA, GIS, CIS) and turning raw telemetry into action with data, reporting, and automation, the show shares practical war stories, field tactics, and candid takes on AI in real operations.
Grounded in WorkOnGrid’s expertise in workforce and asset management, integrations, reporting, and visualization, Grid Dialogues focuses on what actually works inside electricity, water, and gas utilities.
