VIDEO INTRODUCTION:
In this episode of the Indian Business Podcast, we speak with Srinivas Narayanan, VP of Engineering at OpenAI, to decode how the company is building not just smarter tools but the future of work itself. We discuss why 'Agentic AI' is the next chapter beyond just chatbots, how Sam Altman’s leadership has shaped a mission-driven engineering culture, and why despite all the talk of small models and open weights, big foundational models still matter. While the world debates the hype versus fear of AI, Srinivas gives us a clear-eyed view of what’s really happening inside the walls of OpenAI. From testing AI systems for safety at scale to building products like ChatGPT, this episode offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the engineering choices, challenges, and priorities that shape the world's most influential AI company.
