What if a computer could recognize your facial
expression and react to how you feel?
Rana el Kaliouby sees big possibilities in making
technology emotionally aware.
Our emo�ons influence every aspect of our lives - how
we learn, how we communicate, how we make deci-
sions. Yet, they're absent from our digital lives; the
devices and apps we interact with have no way of
knowing how we feel. Scien�st Rana el Kaliouby,
Co-founder and CEO of Affec�va, aims to change that.
Rana demos a powerful new technology that reads
your facial expressions and matches them to corre-
sponding emo�ons. This "emo�on engine" has big
implica�ons and could change not just how we inter-
act with machines but with each other.
Rana leads the company's emo�on analy�cs team,
which is responsible for developing emo�on-sensing
algorithms and mining the world's largest emo�on
data database.
The company’s pla�orm is used by many Fortune
Global 100 companies to measure consumer engage-
ment and is pioneering emo�on-enabled digital apps
for enterprise, entertainment, video communica�on
and online educa�on.
An Empowering Journey...
Having grown up in the Middle East, society expected
Rana to abide by certain cultural norms. She always
wanted to be a part of the faculty at a university in
Egypt. However, over �me her own thinking evolved
and she jumped on the opportunity to start a compa-
ny out of MIT, on the other side of the world.
Her personal life did take a heavy toll on her and that’s
when she felt like a misfit. It took her a divorce, a
cross-con�nental move and a lot of missteps to learn
to co-exist with the doub�ul voice in her head and to
turn it into an empowering force!

Rana el Kaliouby,
co-founder and CEO of Affectiva
Today, her story resonates among young women and
entrepreneurs. Her idea of staying quiet and not
making waves completely turned around when she
realized the power of her voice and the kind of plat-
form she had in front of her. She quotes, “People talk
about balancing work and family but the idea of "bal-
ance" is a misnomer. As a single mom, I had no choice
but to blend the two.”
Entrepreneur magazine called el Kaliouby one of “The
7 Most Powerful Women To Watch in 2014” and the
MIT Technology Review included her in their list of the
“Top 35 Innovators Under 35.”
The Dawn of Affectiva
Most human beings can tell the difference between a
smirk and a smile. Our computers and devices, howev-
er? Not so much.
Rana el Kaliouby realized that she was spending more
hours with her laptop than any other human being.
Despite this in�macy, her laptop had no idea about
how she was feeling - whether she was happy or was
simply having a bad day. This gave her an idea. She
realized that technology has lots of IQ but not EQ.
WHAT’S
TRENDING?
What if our technology could sense our emo�ons?
What if our devices could sense how we feel and react
accordingly just the way an emo�onally intelligent
friend would? A�er this, El Kaliouby started inves�gat-
ing on this as a research project at MIT and then
founded a company, Affec�va, to make the tech avail-
able to developers.
Understanding Affectiva’s “Emotion
Engine”
The emo�on engine can detect emo�ons from mul�-
ple devices. It senses the bounds of your face and
constella�on of points will appear at the corners of
your eyes, the outline of your lips and around your
nose. As you smile, frown and act surprised, bars that
measure joy, disgust, valence and engagement get
longer and shorter, flipping between green (for posi-
�ve emo�ons) and red (for nega�ve emo�ons).
Affec�va has collected the world’s largest emo�on
database- 12 billion emo�on data points collected
from 2.9 million face videos from volunteers in 75
countries- making it possible to quan�fy something as
personal as human emo�ons.

Key learnings about Affectiva
• There are gender differences. Women tend to be
more expressive than men; they smile more o�en and
longer than men.
• There are cultural differences. While women in the
US smile 40% more than men, the same difference
wasn’t found in the UK.
• There are age differences. People who are 50 or
older are 25% more emo�ve than younger people.
• We are expressive all the �me. We show emo�ons
even when si�ng in front of devices alone. We
express emo�ons when emailing, shopping online,
even doing our taxes.
So what are the implica�ons of this? El Kaliouby imag-
ines emo�on-sensing glasses that could help those
who are visually impaired or on the au�sm spectrum
interpret other people’s emo�ons. She imagines
teaching apps that could speed up when a student
looks bored.
With these prospects in mind, Rana El Kaliouby has
revolu�onized the robo�c aspect of ar�ficial intelli-
gence, giving it a touch of emo�ons, to be able to sync
with the human world!

‘Communication in the workplace’ is an import-
ant asset that one brings to an organization.
However, not all of us are experts at communi-
cating effectively with our peers or colleagues.
Not only do communication skills play an
important role in company-related issues but it
also helps in expressing oneself and indulging
in a positive atmosphere at the workplace.
To understand the importance of engaging in meaning-
ful interac�ons that benefit oneself as well as that of the
company, we spoke to Leah Bonvissuto, a Workplace
Communica�on Consultant who founded PresentVoices
to help people talk to each other at work, through com-
munica�on and presenta�on skills training, for sponta-
neous and public speaking.
Leah speaks about employee engagement, workplace
communica�on, conscious conversa�ons, social media
as the new public speaking, ar�cula�ng your life's work,
communica�on as medita�on and how workplaces can
hear and amplify more voices.
Leah is on a mission to normalize the anxiety so many of
us feel while speaking up at work so that more people
can speak up and be heard.
From Theatre to the public speaking pla�orm- how
did you decide to take this up as a career?
Raised by a Broadway musician and a
mime-turned-magician, I’ve spent almost 20 years as a
theatre director. I came across a difficulty that made
me realize my affilia�on with the field of public speak-
ing. I was in urgent need of a medical insurance and the
inability to pay for it caused quite a hindrance for me.
We all know how expensive medical insurances can be,
right? Luckily, I came across this hospital that followed
a scheme of providing free medical insurances in return
for rendered services.
06 | Illuminati E-magazine | Issue No. BSE03022020
later drew me on to becoming a Communica�on’s
Trainer. I now have my own company, PresentVoic-
es, and have helped thousands of people open up
and talk to each other at companies and also social
media pla�orms like LinkedIn, Facebook, Google
and AIG.This led me to training the hospital staff
which escalated my interest in the field of public
speaking.
Leah Bonvissuto,
Workplace Communication Consultant
& founder of PresentVoices
What are your observances while training corpo-
rates?
While working with corporates, I no�ced that
people find it hard to communicate, interact or
bring up issues with one another. I found that
colleagues aren’t able to communicate with their
own peers within the department about any road-
blocks faced or if they require any kind of support.
They’re unable to convey what’s on their mind. Even
if they suddenly decide to share a few things, they
might not know how to approach people.
In my observa�on, I’ve seen that people find it diffi-
cult to break the ice with their supervisors as well as
people from other departments and o�en decide to
stay content within their own surrounding.
Have there been any changes over the years with
the onset of social media?
Yes definitely. Firstly, video calls/conferences have
changed the dynamics of communica�on over the
years. I have trained colleagues to communicate via
video calls/conferences to solidify key assets and
colleagues overseas via Skype and other audio-visu-
al sites. This aspect added a new dimension to the
field of public speaking. This required new nuances
and slowly with the onset of social media, its ease in
access and availability, it was iden�fied. The
number of people ac�ve on social media is increas-
ing day by day and therefore, I started incorpora�ng
the art of public speaking on this pla�orm.
What are the poten�al challenges observed
through communica�on in person and communica-
�on through social media?
Well, there are quite a few challenges that we face.
In person, you can no�ce non-verbal gestures and
gage a person’s interest throughout the conversa-
�on. Once you no�ce a lack of interest or a seeming-
ly disagreement on any topic, you can twist the
conversa�on or turn it around to suit the person or
enhance the conversa�on be�er.
Keeping this in mind, the challenge faced with social
media is that, you cannot understand the person
through non-verbal gestures. It will take much more
effort to develop an audience that like you or handle
an audience that dislike you.
On social media, you can communicate your ideas,
thoughts, feelings, projects and passions. Seeing
this, people react differently. They may agree with
you or disagree bluntly. They may/may not respond
the way you’d like them to. Some might like your
post or some might simply scroll down and disregard
it. You might even receive a posi�ve feedback or
witness a couple of nega�ve comments on your
posts.
Another important challenge faced here is that you
cannot change, twist or manipulate the read-
ers/viewers on social media. What’s said is said. You
cannot modify it or change your words. In person it is
very easy to modify your strategy and change the
conversa�on or go on another track. But on social
media, you might get called out on for such manipu-
la�on or twis�ng of words.
What are your inferences since you have worked
with corporates through workshops and have been
helping employees improve, so what key aspects
would need a�en�on? Could you share some �ps
for our readers?
Illuminati E-magazine | Issue No. BSE03022020 | 07
A�er talking to thousands of people, I know that
most people have trouble ar�cula�ng themselves in
not just talking about public speaking—we are strug-
gling with challenging conversa�ons, speaking up in
mee�ngs, interac�ng on social media, advoca�ng
for ourselves and others and ar�cula�ng our ideas,
online and in wri�en and spoken form. We’re
searching for ways to feel more confident in our
conversa�ons and have more meaningful interac-
�ons, especially as technology con�nues to compli-
cate our communica�on.
Today, public speaking is everywhere—in conversa-
�ons and mee�ngs, online and on video. People
want to connect and be heard. When you can’t see
your audience, it becomes a challenge to be conver-
sa�onal and confident at the same �me. It’s defi-
nitely not the same as spontaneous or public speak-
ing where we are reliant on visual and verbal cues
for valida�on and acceptance. We tend to read our
own percep�ons into the faces of our audience
while speaking. I believe that when these non-verbal
indicators are absent, rather than allowing words to
have more meaning, we fill the gap with our own
percep�ons (which are usually nega�ve).
We do ourselves a disservice when we convince
ourselves that perfect interac�ons are possible and
we are more likely to do this when we cannot see
our audience. We stop ourselves mid-thought to
re-record or rewrite instead of commi�ng in the
moment. We give ourselves permission to doubt
ourselves. Many of us do this with in-person speak-
ing too, but it is easier to do it online and by
ourselves.
Here are �ps for how to show up with confidence on
social media:
● Know your audience. Being specific about who
you are talking to is essen�al in both public speaking
and on social media because it helps you take the
focus off yourself. When we feel fully responsible for
interac�ons it takes away our audience’s ability to
contribute to the “conversa�on”. Reframing the
focus on others is essen�al to compassion, both for
yourself and others.
● Set an inten�on. This is how you want to make
your audience feel. This can also help you reframe
the focus away from yourself (I want to make my
audience feel heard).

On the phone, tone is 86%
of our communica�on. The words
we actually use are only 14%
of our communica�on.
● Make sure you are breathing. O�en, our
fight-or-flight response kicks in causing us to constrict
our breathing. This makes it harder to think clearly
and causes us to live in limited thought processes. It’s
essen�al to get out of your head and into your body
when trying to communicate authen�cally. Get up
and stretch or go for a walk to get in your body and
make sure you are breathing. Focus your physical
a�en�on on something tangible like eye contact,
breath, or where your back hits your chair.
● Cul�vate s�llness. Se�le your physical energy by
using a prop or another physical anchor like feeling
your foot in your shoe and if you are in a chair that
swivels, keep it steady. Extraneous movement can
increase anxiety and make it harder to get out of
fight-or-flight.
● Outline your thoughts first by preparing a shortlist
of bullet points you want to address. This will help you
understand what you want to say on a high-level.
● Ar�culate your objec�ve for yourself. This is your
goal for a par�cular post or interac�on online.
● Note nega�vity. When nega�ve thoughts arise, jot
them down and ques�on them. Ask yourself if they
are rooted in truth.
● Talk about it. The more you talk about your own
fears and embrace vulnerability in spaces that feel
safe, the less isolated you will feel in the anxiety.
The terms ‘Visiobibliophobia’
(fear of Facebook) and
‘Prosopobibliophobia’, coined by neuro-
scien�st Jus�n More�o, describe the fear
of social media.

who use social media are 1.63 �mes

 NOSTALGIA
FORT- dominating the city with its inherited charm!
Being the first part of the city to be constructed by the
Bri�sh, it gets its name from Fort George that was
constructed in 1769 by the Bri�sh East India Compa-
ny. A�er being destroyed par�ally by fire in the 1800s,
the neighbourhood evolved into a business district
with a vibrant and energe�c feel!
Extending from the docks in the east to Azad Maidan
in the west, from Victoria Terminus in the north to
Kala Ghoda in the south, Fort lies in the heart of the
financial city of Mumbai that curates some of the
most unique and majes�c structures of the Bri�sh era.
Placed in the neighbourhood of Fort is the Chhatrapa-
� Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, formerly
named the Prince of Wales museum and built in the
early years of the 20th century to commemorate the
visit of George V, who was Prince of Wales at the �me.
The iconic building has an Indo-Saracenic style of
construc�on with a concoc�on of other architectural
styles and houses approximately 50,000 exhibits of
ancient history, objects from foreign lands as well as
ar�facts of the Indus Valley Civiliza�on and relics from
ancient India. Another eminent monument is the
David Sassoon Library and Reading Room, which is a
153-year-old ins�tu�on.
The library’s surreal infrastructure is guaranteed to
make you feel nostalgic and will definitely take you
back to the Bri�sh era. Today the building finds itself
in the list of 145 old buildings that have been declared
as protected monuments by the government.

mu�ny, the police did an open firing which claimed 106
lives, this shoo�ng proved to be a major impetus for
the crea�on of Maharashtra on 1 May, 1960.
Hutatma Chowk
The place where this incident took place in 1956 is
called Hutatma Chowk today! This square was called
Flora Fountain un�l in 1961, but later was renamed in
memory of the members of the Samyukta Maharashtra
Sami�. And a statue of a "Martyr with a flame” was

made to commemorate the revolu�onaries. Next to
the statue is the famous and elegantly placed, Flora

.
Covering a vast stretch of land is the magnificent
ground known as the Oval Maidan, situated in the
neighbourhood of Fort. This recrea�onal ground has
been given its name because of its oval shape and runs
a wide stretch of 22 acres with a circumference of 1.5
kilometers.
A regular venue for inter-school cricket and football
matches, the Oval Maidan has an old-world charm with
a peaceful yet sporty aura. You will find many people
relaxing, running, undergoing training sessions for
various sports or simply taking their dogs for a walk.
Occupying such a wide spread of land, it is definitely a
great place for the working crowd to unwind and
stretch their legs a�er a �resome day.
A collec�on of Mumbai’s rich heritage culture, Fort,
dominates the city with its ancestral contribu�on and
preserves its beauty for genera�ons to follow!
