Rewinding Success

What if one cold email could change the direction of your life?

Rahul Bhagat, an AI and technology leader at Amazon, never imagined where his career would take him. Growing up in Nagpur, India, he followed a traditional academic path before curiosity, unexpected opportunities, and a life-changing mentorship led him to pursue a PhD at USC and eventually build a 17-year career at Amazon.

In this episode of Rewinding Success, Rahul shares the defining moments behind his journey, from working in a college cafeteria to leading teams in AI and search. We explore the power of mentorship, what it takes to become a great leader, the future of artificial intelligence, and why success isn't about having everything figured out.

Rahul also shares valuable advice for students on building meaningful relationships, pursuing their curiosity, and creating opportunities for themselves.
