Sumita Kunashakaran (she / her / hers) is a motivational speaker on cultural innovation and empathic leadership. Her work uses her unique blend of the Flavours of Inclusivity.

Born on the sunny island of Singapore and living in the beautiful city of Vienna, her work transcends borders, connecting cultures and communities. She believes in the power of breaking silos. Sumita’s publications range from disability-inclusive business strategies, to gender dynamics in the military, and offer insights on important social issues. But what she’s most proud of are her newly published books!

As the Chief Inclusion Officer at Inclusive Creation AS Sumita also brings to the room her cross-cultural expertise. She has been instrumental in pioneering Singapore's first international award winning, disability-centric and body-positive sexuality program, and actively contributes to national reporting mechanisms on human rights at the United Nations.

Despite her global perspective, she firmly believes that pizzas taste way better with pineapples on them.
