Hi, I’m Manaswini [Manu] Kaligotla, a people scientist - UX and AI Researcher - turned strategist, and an educator with over a decade of experience in product-shaping research across industries like tech, banking, healthcare, automotive, AI and education.

I’ve worked with global teams at companies like Google, Amazon, Abercrombie & Fitch, OpenAI, and Bosch to drive meaningful, inclusive, and human-centered innovation. My research has helped design and challenge product decisions that are more accessible, tools that are easier to understand, technologies that are less alien and that resonate across cultures.

But more than titles, I’m deeply passionate about helping others build confidence in their research craft, especially when it comes to making inclusion real, not just aspirational.

Whether you're an in-house researcher, strategist, product manager, or design lead, this course is built to empower you with practical tools, critical thinking, and real-world case studies to center inclusion meaningfully in your work.

Let’s challenge the status quo of "inclusive research" together and build practices that are both rigorous and radically human.
