In this candid -1 conversation, we’ll go deep into Rahul’s earliest days - before scale, before clarity, and before the current wave of AI momentum. We’ll explore what it takes to build and lead technical teams working on cutting-edge systems, how to make architectural and research decisions under extreme uncertainty, and how long-term thinking shapes both technology and culture.
We’ll also discuss building responsible AI at the frontier, navigating fast-moving technology, and what founders and engineers should internalize when working on problems where the stakes and the unknowns, are unusually high.
This session is designed for builders who want to understand the thinking behind the systems shaping the future, not just the outcomes. Expect first-principles reasoning, hard-earned lessons, and perspectives that come from being close to the edge of what’s possible.
Registration and approval are required, and space is limited. Please RSVP soon.
