Redefining Product Building in the Age of AI

What does modern product development look like in an era defined by economic uncertainty, AI, and shrinking career ladders? Join Swarna Pandu and Rakshana Balakrishnan as they reflect on how creating products has evolved in recent years and discuss the realities of shipping in uncertain conditions, the pressures on product teams to do more with less, why hiring is fundamentally changing, and how mid-level and junior talent can adapt and grow in a market that’s no longer predictable. Whether you’re designing, coding, or driving product strategy, this session will help you understand how to stay relevant, resilient, and ready for the next shift.
