Masad traces his journey from Amman to Silicon Valley, the creation of Replit, and how AI agents are ushering in a post-coding era - where productivity is measured not in lines of code but in creative intent.

He explains why India’s 17 million developers stand at a once-in-a-generation inflection point - if the country can shift from cost arbitrage to innovation arbitrage. It’s a conversation on ambition, automation, and the audacity to reimagine work itself.
