इस एपिसोड में, Nicolai Tangen की बातचीत अरिस्टा नेटवर्क्स की मशहूर CEO जयश्री उल्लाल से होती है। जयश्री समझाती हैं कि कैसे अरिस्टा आज के AI सिस्टम के लिए बड़े-बड़े नेटवर्क चलाता है, क्यों AI का ट्रैफिक पहले के सभी ट्रैफिक से बिल्कुल अलग है, और क्यों अब सबसे बड़ी रुकावट हार्डवेयर नहीं बल्कि बिजली की कमी है। वे अरिस्टा की कहानी बताती हैं—कैसे एक छोटी इंजीनियरिंग टीम जिसकी कमाई शून्य थी, दुनियाभर में लीडर बन गई, वो कल्चर जिसने कंपनी को सफल बनाया, और इलेक्ट्रिकल इंजीनियर से CEO बनने तक का उनका अपना सफर। यह एक खुली और गहरी बातचीत है जो लीडरशिप, नई सोच और AI की दुनिया में नेटवर्किंग के भविष्य के बारे में है।
