“Power is having influence with integrity. It’s the ability to effect change and to inspire action. True power comes from using your influence to uplift others, to create opportunities, and to drive positive change,” says Dr Ayesha Khanna, of the artificial intelligence (AI) solutions firm and incubator. Over the years, the strategic advisor to leading corporations and governments around the world on AI, data and smart cities has come to understand that “power is about self-belief, confidence, and the courage to use your voice”. She feels most powerful when she’s using her skills and expertise to solve real-world problems—whether it’s developing innovative AI solutions, mentoring young women in tech, or advocating for greater diversity and inclusion in the industry. “I feel a sense of empowerment when I’m making a tangible difference in the lives of others,” shares Khanna. One common misconception about female entrepreneurs she’d like to clear up? That women are less ambitious than their male counterparts. “Women are just as driven and successful as men, but they often face unique challenges and biases that can make it harder to succeed. Women in Asia for example, are increasingly highly educated, with advanced degrees in computer science, engineering and related fields. We’re not just coding; we’re leading research teams, founding startups, and driving innovation at major tech companies.”
