The most transformative technologies aren't always the ones that grab headlines-sometimes they're quietly powering the systems we rely on every day. Logistics is one of those systems: the invisible infrastructure that enables hospitals to receive blood, restaurants to deliver meals, and retailers to fulfill orders. In the premiere episode of our new video podcast Built Different, LinkedIn SVP and Head of Engineering Mohak Shroff gives us a compelling, behind-the-scenes look at how Zipline is reimagining this backbone of modern life through autonomous drone delivery. More than just advancing technology, Zipline is pioneering an entirely new sector of transportation.

Mohak met with CEO Keller Rinaudo Cliffton at Zipline's test flight site and manufacturing facility to understand the technical ingenuity and mission-driven mindset behind the company's approach.

Zipline began by delivering blood and medical supplies to remote regions in Africa. Today, it operates in the U.S., delivering goods with speed, precision, and a lower carbon footprint - and with the FAA's recent proposal to ease restrictions on drone deliveries, further expansion of Zipline's drone network faces one less hurdle. But the real story lies in the engineering: drones designed to endure extreme conditions, systems built to minimize noise, and networks optimized for reliability. As Mohak uncovers in the episode, the future of logistics isn't just autonomous-it's equitable and intentional.

Built Different with Mohak Shroff goes behind the scenes with technologists making bold, long-term bets. Each episode is a firsthand look at how builders are tackling some of today's toughest challenges and the real-world impact of their innovations.
