The Latency Paradox: Why Speed Alone Won’t Define the Future of AI Customer Engagement

Host: Taran Nandha, Founder & CEO, Growth Natives Guest: Rukman Singh, Sr. Director – Customer Success & Experience, Growth Natives

Episode Description

Faster AI doesn’t always mean better customer experience.

In this episode of Growth Digger, Taran Nandha and Rukman Singh explore the Latency Paradox—the idea that while AI can respond in milliseconds, customer engagement still fails when speed isn’t paired with context, intent, and meaningful resolution.

They break down why instant responses often feel robotic, why speed at the interface doesn’t guarantee speed in the system, and how the next phase of AI customer engagement will be defined by understanding, orchestration, and trust—not just response time.

What You’ll Learn

• Why sub-second AI responses can still create poor experiences
• The difference between response time and resolution time
• How lack of context makes fast AI feel slow and frustrating
• Why legacy systems break the promise of real-time AI
• When instant engagement helps—and when it backfires
• How AI-to-human handoffs should feel seamless, not disruptive
• What metrics matter more than speed in modern CX

Key Takeaway

Speed is no longer a competitive advantage—it’s table stakes. The future of AI customer engagement belongs to systems that are fast and thoughtful, fast and contextual, fast and human.

Listen If You’re

• Designing AI-powered customer support or engagement systems
• Struggling with fast bots but low CSAT or trust
• Integrating AI with legacy CRM and backend systems
• Focused on CX, customer success, or digital transformation
• Looking to move beyond “instant replies” to meaningful resolution

Templates Can’t Scale Strategy: Why Companies Are Rebuilding with Purpose-Built Web Apps

Host: Rahul Sindwani, VP – Operations, Growth Natives Guest: Sumeet Rana, VP – Technology, Growth Natives

Episode Description

Templates feel fast, simple, and cost-effective—until they quietly become the biggest bottleneck in your business.

In this episode of Growth Digger, Rahul Sindwani sits down with Sumeet Rana to unpack why companies eventually outgrow templates and why many are rebuilding their digital foundations with purpose-built web applications. From broken workflows and limited scalability to brand sameness and data lock-in, they break down where templates fail—and what custom-built solutions unlock instead.

This conversation is a practical look at how strategy, technology, and growth collide when businesses scale.

What You’ll Learn

• Why templates work early—but fail as businesses grow
• How templates force companies to adapt their process to tools
• The hidden costs of plugins, workarounds, and licensing
• Why scalability, integrations, and data ownership break on templates
• How purpose-built web apps align with real business workflows
• When it’s the right time to move from templates to custom solutions
• The long-term ROI of building systems designed for your strategy

Key Takeaway

Templates solve generic problems. Purpose-built applications solve your problems. If your growth depends on flexibility, integrations, and differentiation, templates will eventually hold you back.

Listen If You’re

• Scaling beyond basic websites or landing pages
• Dealing with broken workflows and patchwork solutions
• Planning multi-product, multi-market, or mobile-first growth
• Tired of template limitations and rising long-term costs
• Exploring custom web or full-stack application development
