I'm a mechanical engineer who later went back for an MBA. Which one do you think was more useful?I started on the factory floor at Caterpillar in India, did my MBA at UT Austin McCombs, worked M&A strategy at EY-Parthenon, and today I'm building products for fleet operations at Amazon in North America.Right now, I'm most excited about what's happening in physical AI, specifically autonomous and electric vehicles. It's a rare space where both halves of that background pay off: the engineering lets me understand how these machines actually work, and the commercial side lets me read their economics.That combination is why I keep coming back to the same questions: what these machines really cost, and who ends up making money on them.
