Business Lessons from Tolkien and Stephenson | Dipanwita Das from Sorcera

The largest, most powerful industries are often both the most resistant to change and the most in need of it. In this episode of UpTech Report, I speak with Dipanwita Das, the founder and CEO of Sorcero, who recognized the need for the life science and insurance industries to organize, interpret, and refine massive amounts of unstructured text.

Sorcero is building the digital tools to help businesses develop governing knowledge bases, unify systems, automate workflows, and help massive corporations operate with the efficiency of a nimble startup. Dipanwita discusses the paths from human intelligence to artificial intelligence and the inspiration she draws from science fiction and fantasy.

By using data, she helps these industries to improve and get what they need. ” We like to refer to them as dragons. So, they have a lot of power, they’re typically old, they are whimsical, risk-averse, and they guard their treasure, they’re very determined in guarding their treasure”, says Dipanwita.
