S4 | E2 | AI for Frontline Workers with Arjun Vora - Co-Founder @ Teambridge

Today on the ThinkData Podcast, I’m joined by Arjun Vora, Co-Founder of Teambridge, a Series B startup redefining how frontline and hourly teams are managed.

Arjun previously led design on the Uber for Drivers app, an experience that gave him first-hand insight into how broken tools, poor communication, and rigid systems impact people who don’t sit at desks all day.

Teambridge is building a single operating system for frontline teams: combining scheduling, communication, workflows, and real-time insights into one intelligent platform. Their mission is simple but powerful, make managing people easier and make work better for the people doing it.

In this episode, we explore why frontline workers have been overlooked by technology, how AI can genuinely improve shift-based work, and where the biggest opportunities lie over the next few years.

🧠 Topics We Cover

  1. The lightbulb moment behind Teambridge, and how Uber for Drivers inspired the idea
  2. Why most AI tools still ignore frontline and hourly workers
  3. How Teambridge applies AI to scheduling, communication, and workflows
