Episode 31 - Prukalpa Sankar + Big Data

Generation STEM

Hey Closers, did you miss us? We’ve been busy producing content for you guys in San Francisco at the Singularity University Global Summit (check out a video preview of what we experienced here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okOZLgbB3Cg). While Ryan was away on vacation in Spain (we missed you!), Kevin and Becca tag-teamed at the Silicon Valley conference and recorded interviews with major entrepreneurs in the tech and innovation space.

This episode features Prukalpa Sankar, a major authority in the world of data. She has co-founded two data platform startups (SocialCops & Atlan), given a TED talk, and landed her name on many prestigious lists like Forbes 30 under 30 Asia, all by the age of……27.

Tune in to learn about:

• how Prukalpa plans to solve the world’s greatest issues through the use of data
• her argument as to why data is a good thing, in a world where we fear data and compromising internet privacy
• why she believes that age doesn’t matter
• what we need to do to get more women working in the STEM industry
• which house Prukalpa thinks she would be in at Hogwarts
