Sramana Mitra: You believe there is a bias from customers?
Aparna Dhinakaran: No, I think there is a bias in the tech industry itself. In general, there are not that many women that go into AI. I don’t think that we can argue that we’ve reached a neutral point. If I saw that in reality, there would be more women founders.
Sramana Mitra: I’m not asking you the question on statistics. I’m asking about your personal experience. Do you face bias from customers?

I’m publishing this series on LinkedIn called Colors to explore a topic that I care deeply about: the Renaissance Mind. I am just as passionate about entrepreneurship, technology, and business, as I am about art and culture. In this series, I will typically publish a piece of art – one of my paintings – and I request you to spend a minute or two deeply meditating on it. I urge you to watch your feelings, thoughts, reactions to the piece, and write what comes to you, what thoughts it triggers, in the dialog area. Let us see what stimulation this interaction yields. For today – Winter in Yosemite I
