'India can be the FDE factory for the world.' What is a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) and why is it becoming AI's hottest new job? Speaking to Shereen Bhan on Young Turks Reloaded, Fundamentum Co-founder Sanjeev Aggarwal says FDEs combine the skills of an engineer, product manager and AI architect to solve real business problems. 'It's almost like a unicorn... a 10x engineer.' He says a company can potentially build a $100 million business with just 100 FDEs, compared to 2,000–2,500 employees in a traditional IT services model. 'The gross margins can be as high as 70-80-90%.' As AI rewrites software development and companies like Microsoft ramp up hiring for FDE roles, Aggarwal believes India's decades of IT expertise could make it the world's biggest talent hub for this new category. @ShereenBhan
