Lakshmi’s session ‘Unboxing Gender: Power, Perception & Possibility’ was a masterclass in intersectional thinking. As an animal rights activist, I found her take on how systems of power—gender, tech, and exploitation—intersect both eye-opening and deeply relevant. She doesn’t just speak. She provokes reflection, connects dots, and invites action. One of the most thought-provoking sessions we’ve hosted

Lakshmi brings a rare blend of systems thinking, sharp storytelling, and cultural insight. Her session, ‘Decoded Bias: Gender, Tech, and the Future of Inclusive Leadership’, challenged us to go beyond checkboxes and reexamine how bias gets coded into systems, whether in AI models or workplace structures. She doesn’t just advocate for inclusion; she makes a business case for rethinking how we lead. A must-listen for any leadership team navigating the future.

Dr Lakshmi Pillai Gupta was an eminent speaker for the Amity-University and Nottingham Joint Symposium on Sustainability and Circular Economy. Through her lecture on electronic waste management, she could excite a vast range of audience starting from undergraduate students to PhD scholars and faculties from the biotechnology and engineering institutions of AMITY University and Nottingham. Her skills of presentation absolutely mesmerized the listeners and infused an insightful thought process amongst them, which was translated during the 'innovative ideas' competition held toward the end of the symposium. Her talk was on technology-aided products, created with the vision of environmental protection and safety was thought provoking; the simplicity of delivery made it enjoyable for both biology and engineering-background students.
