Sahil David

Hosted by Sahil David

An AI founder and engineer's solo dispatches on building products, leading teams, and navigating the new rules of work.

The brief

This is a solo-cast from the trenches of building an AI startup. Sahil David shares his frameworks and principles for navigating the tech industry's shift towards AI. It's less about tutorials and more about the strategic thinking behind technical decisions, leadership, and product development. He often uses his own company, Kiinara, as a running case study.

Unlike tutorial-heavy channels, this podcast focuses on high-level principles and the 'why' behind technical and business decisions. The host's transparency in documenting his own startup's journey provides a rare, real-time case study on building an AI-first company.
