Immigrant Computer Scientists

A thoughtful conversation where a true leader shares credit and hard truths. As an immigrant, I felt seen and motivated. Ricardo’s humility and openness shine through (Episode 35). Kudos to Indranil for crafting a meaningful episode - I’ll be listening to the rest before the holidays 2025.

This podcast became my regular source of motivation and inspiration. The guests describe how they approached their careers, highlighting ups, downs, and sharp turns. The stories showcase different ways people take towards impactful work, emphasizing the fun in the process. It is easy to relate to the guests and feel energized to contribute more to the CS field. I am so impressed by Indy Gupta; he has a fantastic sense of storytelling and shows genuine curiosity. I am very familiar with his technical work, but I would never guess that he would be the Terry Gross (from NPR Fresh Air) of the computing field!

As an immigrant, I found many of the stories relatable and overall very inspiring. I’m a big a fan of this podcast now and every new episode is an extra motivation for me to hit the gym to listen to it :-) thanks Indy for all your efforts.

I am hooked after listening to a couple. It’s fascinating to hear the stories. Indy is a natural when it comes to being a host. Great job!
