Judging Panel
Shikha Gupta
I am a technology leader driven by the belief that scalable, secure, and intelligent systems can solve humanity’s greatest challenges. Over my 13+ year career—including nine years at Amazon—I’ve built and scaled systems that power environmental impact assessments, secure global platforms, and enable AI-driven decision-making at massive scale. I lead Amazon’s flagship climate-tech platforms, including our Product Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) solution and an AI-powered emission factor mapping solution, featured at NeurIPS 2024 and in Environmental Science & Technology. I hold five patents in Data Privacy and Digital Rights Management, serve as an AWS AppSec Guardian, and have contributed security frameworks adopted across Amazon. As a Technical Bar Raiser and IETE Fellow, I actively mentor the next generation of technologists and leaders. My work lives at the intersection of technical excellence and mission-driven innovation. I’m deeply invested in advancing climate tech, AI for impact, and systems that scale responsibly and securely. Let’s connect if you share a passion for driving global change through technology.
