Bytes Of Thought

In this episode of Bytes of Thought, Shubh sits down with Sonnesh Kothagundla, a 17-year-old medical tech innovator who is using AI to rethink how healthcare works. We talk about what pushes a young builder to chase big problems, how he blends medicine with emerging tech, and the mindset it takes to start creating before anyone says you are ready.

Sonniesh opens up about early ideas, experiments, failures, and the moments that shaped his direction. He explains what it is really like to build in the medical tech space at such a young age and how he stays grounded while still aiming big.

This episode feels like a conversation between two students who are trying to figure out how to make an impact through tech and curiosity. If you are a student, a young founder, or someone who wants to start building your own path, this episode gives you a real look at growth, ambition, and believing in yourself even when everything feels uncertain.

Episode 1: “We’re Already in the Future”
We imagined a shiny future, flying cars, neon skylines, endless possibilities. Instead, we got a quiet one: hacked school systems, AI companions for lonely teens, ignored security warnings, and a digital world that feels more fragile than ever.

In this episode, I break down what’s really happening online: the breaches nobody talks about, the emotional cost of tech, and why our “connected” lives feel so disconnected. No hype, no headlines, just raw truth, questions worth asking, and a call to slow down and see the cracks in the system.
