About This Podcast
1 IDEA is a video show hosted by Sedai CEO Suresh Mathew where elite engineers go deep on one big idea that they are passionate about. No buzzwords. No fluff.
No marketing. Just ready-to-deploy ideas for engineering leaders who want to build better products and stronger teams.
Every episode features one engineering leader sharing the unconventional wisdom that changed how they build. The controversial opinions. The processes everyone else thinks are broken but actually work.
