Builder’s Breakfast: The Context Engineering Conversation by Swiggy

AI models are converging. What separates great AI products from the rest is context: which documents get retrieved and in what order, how memory is structured, what the tool definitions say, and plenty more. As models become increasingly interchangeable, context is emerging as the layer that determines whether an AI agent simply responds or consistently delivers meaningful business outcomes. We are getting the folks who have cracked the code for the latter around one breakfast table. What to expect We’re inviting 25 experienced AI practitioners to spend a morning in conversation with Swiggy's CTO, Madhusudhan Rao, along with our engineering and AI leaders. This is a space for you to compare notes on what AI systems you are building, what is breaking, and what is holding up in production, plus the architecture patterns that have survived contact with real traffic. Here are some themes we’ll cover over the course of two hours: Bring your opinions, questions, and the problems keeping you up at night. Agenda Who this is for We have capped the attendance to 25 seats to encourage meaningful discussions. This is a curated gathering of experienced practitioners who are actively building production AI systems: We give preference to practitioners from AI-native startups, foundation model companies, enterprise AI startups, digital-native startups that have shipped customer-facing AI at scale, and leading technology companies building LLM-powered products. This event is part of Basecamp, a community-powered tech week in Bengaluru bringing founders, builders, and operators together. Basecamp is free for the community and powered by the community. The event venue will be shared with approved attendees only. Please note the event is happening in Central Bangalore.
