Her clients include Johnson & Johnson, Westpac, ComfortDelGro, Pfizer, and Visa, with enterprise partnerships with players like Mastercard. She doesn't just talk about AI — she builds it, deploys it, and advises the boardrooms where the biggest decisions are being made.
That rare combination of practitioner credibility and communication skill is why Dr. Khanna is one of the most in-demand keynote speakers on AI today. Her signature topics - operationalizing AI at scale, working with AI agents, and practical frameworks for AI adoption — give audiences something they can act on Monday morning.
Her speaking clients have included DHL, HSBC, Salesforce, KPMG, AMEX, SAP, and IHG, and she delivers both high-energy keynotes and tailored executive workshops. With a following of more than 300,000 leaders and decision-makers across her social media platforms and newsletters, her ideas travel far beyond the stage.
Dr. Khanna's authority is backed by recognition at the highest levels. Reuters named her one of the world's Trailblazing Women in Enterprise AI (2026). She was named to Edelman's Top 50 AI Creators (2025), highlighted in Salesforce's 16 AI Influencers to Know (2024), featured in Forbes as one of Southeast Asia's groundbreaking entrepreneurs, and named one of Singapore's top 100 women in tech.
She brings boardroom-level strategic perspective to every engagement. Dr. Khanna serves on the board of Johnson Controls (New York Stock Exchange) and NEOM Tonomus in Saudi Arabia. She previously served on the board of AVEVA Technologies (London Stock Exchange, FTSE 100), the global Scientific Advisory Board of L'Oréal, and the Consumer Committee of Mercy in the US. She has also served on the boards of Singapore government agencies including IMDA, which regulates the AI sector.
A graduate of Harvard University, Columbia University, and the London School of Economics, Dr. Khanna began her career on Wall Street, spending over a decade advising financial institutions on analytics and technology strategy — giving her a depth of commercial fluency that sets her apart from purely academic voices.
Dr. Khanna is also a passionate advocate for diversity in technology. She founded 21C Girls, a charity that provided free coding and AI classes to thousands of students in Singapore over 10 years. Today, she continues that mission through Amplify, which builds AI-ready talent and offers scholarships for mid-career women.
Her work has been published and quoted in The New York Times, TIME, Harvard Business Review, and Forbes.
