From Shubham

I would like to thank my coauthor, Sandra, who, like a perfect partner, filled in the gaps and complemented my skills. In spite of the challenges we faced while writing this book, we had a lot of fun thanks to Sandra’s ability to turn even the most stressful

situation into a fun one.

Our technical editors, Daniel Ibanez and Matteus Tanha, played a crucial role in giving us great feedback on where to zig and when to zag. Huge thanks to the OpenAI team, especially Peter Welinder and Fraser Kelton, for being constant sources of support and guidance throughout the journey. I would also like to thank all the founders and industry leaders whom we interviewed for their precious time and valuable insights.

Thank you to my mom, Gayatri, my dad, Suresh, my brother, Saransh, and all my friends and colleagues who supported me throughout the writing process. Another big thanks goes out to the faculty and founders of Plaksha University who have given

me the opportunity to think beyond convention and challenge the status quo. My education and experience in Plaksha’s Tech Leaders Program enabled me to efficiently finish this book.
