In this episode of Infoversity, host Jeff Hemsley talks with Syracuse University alumnus Sagar Mohan, a technology leader whose career has taken him from startups and entrepreneurship to leading engineering teams at Amazon Robotics.
Mohan shares how his background in computer engineering and information management shaped the systems-thinking approach he uses to solve complex problems today. He takes listeners inside the world of Amazon Robotics, where his team develops software used to manage and optimize thousands of robots across hundreds of facilities—using massive amounts of real-time data and AI to keep systems running safely and efficiently.
The conversation also explores the lessons Mohan learned from building—and closing—a startup, his approach to leading technical teams, and how AI is changing the way engineers work. Throughout, he emphasizes the importance of technical depth, human judgment, problem-solving and continuous learning in a rapidly changing technology landscape.
Listen to the episode for a look at robotics at scale, the future of AI and automation, and the skills technology professionals will need to navigate what comes next.
