Yeah.

First of all, thanks for having me here.

Actually, it did exist.

And people sometimes don't realize AI is not new.

It's been there for 75 years, since 1950.

It just changed over time how the application is happening, right?

So one thing to keep up with is as AI became more popular and more embedded in business, how do we upskill ourselves to stay at par with the technology trends?

So the preparation for me personally started actually a long time ago.

So when I was in grad school in US, I used to live in US by the way for a long time.

You're Indian.

I'm an Indian originally, but I used to live in the US.

I did my grad school here.

And there actually, I started taking courses in neural networks and artificial intelligence back in 2002.

And it wasn't popular back then.

But I was just curious.

What is it?

Maybe it's the next big thing.

And I'm so glad I did that.

Because that sort of helped me build that foundation.

It was very different because the main difference was before that I was an engineer by profession.
