With two decades of experience spanning core technology, public policy, healthcare, and entrepreneurship, Laina Emmanuel has consistently moved toward problems where systems, scale, and impact intersect. Today, she is the founder of BrainSightAI, a Bengaluru-based product company that uses AI and 3D visualisation to improve diagnosis and prognosis of neuro-psychiatric disorders.

She began as a systems programmer, working on large-scale products at NetApp and at Cisco’s offshore development centre at Infosys, roles that gave her deep exposure to building technology used by millions. 

From there, Emmanuel made an unusual but deliberate shift into international development, working as an independent consultant on public health and education policy, including assignments with the Government of India and high-impact organisations such as the Clinton Health Access Initiative. 

To bridge technology with business decision-making, Emmanuel pursued an MBA in healthcare from ISB, followed by the MIT Entrepreneurship Bootcamp, where the idea of building her own venture took concrete form.
