Her Interview
Ten minutes with Shreya
01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Be experimental. If there's something you're interested in, try to make something to solve it or help with your hobbies. Curiosity is what really takes you far.
02What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The biggest challenge is that with AI, you don't need to know how to code anymore, leveling the playing field. Instead focus on soft skills like problem solving, designing systems, leading people, and communicating in technical settings rather than low-level coding semantics.
