Session: Building your company as an Engineer, Mom, Immigrant (with ADHD)
Building a company is never easy, but doing it as a woman, immigrant, mom, and engineer with ADHD adds a unique layer of chaos, creativity, and clarity. In this talk, Neelanjana Dutta, former Staff Software Engineer at Intel, PhD in Computer Science and founder of Juni (an AI-powered parenting companion), shares her honest journey of turning lived experiences into a mission-driven startup.From navigating cultural expectations and motherhood to managing ADHD in high-performance environments, Neelanjana breaks down what it really takes to build with limited resources, self-doubt, and relentless purpose. She’ll talk about how engineering discipline meets emotional resilience, how ADHD can become a superpower in innovation, and why motherhood sharpens entrepreneurial vision.
This is a story about designing a company that reflects real life challenges with long term vision, and about redefining what it means to “have it all” in tech and entrepreneurship for women.
Key Takeaways
- Reframe your identity - being a woman, mom, immigrant, or neurodiverse engineer is an asset, not an obstacle.
- Learn how to channel empathy, experience, and technical skill into authentic innovation.
- Leave inspired to design your own version of success. And then evolve, redefine and repeat.
