Shishir Mehrotra, Founder & CEO of Coda, spoke at Design Driven NYC in November 2020. He shared three key lessons from the maker generation: (1) How to turn philosophy into implementation, (2) the rise of tiny apps and the erosion of edge cases, and (3) the power of rituals.

Shishir was formerly an executive at YouTube, overseeing the YouTube product, where he helped grow YouTube to the world’s largest video destination, one of Google’s largest and fastest-growing businesses, and the platform of choice for a new generation of video creators. Prior to Google, Shishir spent 6 years at Microsoft and is currently a board member of Spotify.
