From Silicon Valley to India — What the Move Teaches About AI and Engineering Leadership

SarveshVP of AI, Accurate

Sarvesh made the jump from Silicon Valley to leading AI and tech teams in India. He shares what that shift reveals about how AI is actually being built and deployed in two very different ecosystems, where product development is heading, and what engineering leaders on both sides of the world are getting wrong.

What we covered

  • global AI
  • product development
  • cross-market leadership

What I took away

  • The gap between AI hype and AI in production looks different in every geography
  • Product development cycles in India optimise for cost and reach; Valley cycles optimise for scale and moat
  • Cross-market leadership requires unlearning defaults from either side
  • The best AI teams anywhere combine research literacy with shipping discipline
