"I grew up in a very chaotic family," said Sampriti Bhattacharyya, the leader of maritime tech company Navier. "I did not grow up close to my parents, so I became very introverted in many ways."
Growing up in Kolkata, India, at just 12 years old, Bhattacharyya became fascinated by space.
"Watching the Apollo Mission to the Moon had a profound impact on me. The idea that humans can actually go outside of this planetary body and go somewhere, you know this curiously for the unknown," she said.
