Sourav and Lauren met December 1, 2017 at the Oklahoma Women in Technology year-end gala. Lauren, who was the membership chair of the organization at the time, decided it would be best to meet new people by sitting at a table with new faces. One of those faces just so happened to be looking to hire Sourav at her company and invited him to the event, as he's a strong advocate for women in STEM fields (he was shocked to see his Indian classes 50/50 males and females and his American classes with 1% females). Sourav sat next to Lauren and the rest is history!
