The career advice Jensen Huang gave me (www.businessinsider.com)

Sid Pardeshi, co-founder and CTO of the generative AI platform Blitzy, reflects on his transformative journey from Nvidia employee to entrepreneur, guided by CEO Jensen Huang's mentorship. Pardeshi, who spent over six years at Nvidia, was inspired to pursue his own entrepreneurial ambitions after Huang encouraged him to deepen his expertise in AI, specifically as it pertains to gaming. Leaving Nvidia before the release of ChatGPT, he co-founded Blitzy in 2023, which has since raised $4.4 million to focus on automating software development through AI. Pardeshi highlights key lessons learned from Huang, particularly the importance of nurturing talent within a company and anticipating challenges ahead of time. He aims to create an engaging work environment at Blitzy, similar to what he experienced at Nvidia, while also embracing Huang's forward-thinking approach, such as believing in technology advances even when others are skeptical. By leveraging his extensive AI knowledge and experience, Pardeshi is committed to steering Blitzy toward success in a competitive landscape, hoping to replicate Nvidia's growth trajectory.
