Hear how they built it. Then go build yours. Every week, host Arthi Rajendran sits down with a woman who is in the arena : shipping ML models, founding AI companies, and doing the hard technical work that rarely gets talked about publicly. No hype. No theory. Just real builders having honest conversations about real systems. We go deep on: → How they actually built what they built → The technical decisions behind real AI systems → Career journeys into AI : the unpolished, honest version → What it takes to build as a woman in a male-dominated space → Where AI is going, from the people actively shaping it Because the AI conversation online is overwhelmingly male, but the women building in this space are extraordinary. This podcast exists to make them visible and to give every listener the fuel to go build something of their own. New episode every Saturday.
