“The engineering world we knew just five years ago doesn’t exist anymore. Sure, we still solve problems and build solutions, but the way we work has completely changed. Engineers today spend less time wrestling with syntax and more time thinking through complex challenges. We’ve got AI as our constant coding companion now, which means we can actually focus on the interesting stuff.
What’s remarkable is seeing engineers from smaller cities in India suddenly competing on the global stage. When a brilliant mind from a small town can access the same AI tools as someone in Silicon Valley, talent becomes the only differentiator between them. Young engineers are building solutions for India’s unique challenges, whether it’s creating voice interfaces that understand regional dialects or optimizing for low bandwidth connections.
We have noticed this shift almost every day. Young minds who join us aren’t just learning to code anymore but think like product architects, to work alongside intelligent systems, and to solve problems that didn’t even exist a few years back. The approach of memorizing frameworks is becoming tangential, what matters is adaptability and the ability to learn continuously.
Today’s engineers aren’t building for today’s world, they’re creating the foundation for a future where human creativity and AI capabilities work together. That’s the kind of engineering that truly excites us.”
