Parul Singh is the founder of Parallel Minds, a neurodiversity consultancy helping organisations build genuinely inclusive workplaces through training, keynotes, and strategic consulting. A late-diagnosed Autistic ADHDer, woman of colour, and first-generation immigrant, she draws on lived experience and evidence-based practice to help organisations shift from intention to systemic, sustainable change. Ideal for conferences, workshops or panel discussions, Parul is an incredible addition to any event!
Parul holds a Master's degree in Chemistry with a research project focused on eLearning, and brings the same scientific, methodical mindset into her work today. Her keynotes and training programmes are built around clear requirements, the specific audience, and the real-world outcome organisations want to achieve. Parul's non-linear career path has spanned agency recruitment, in-house talent acquisition at a global tech consultancy, recruitment marketing, and independent consulting. This gives her a grounded, practical understanding of how neuroinclusion is applied across the employee lifecycle, from hiring and management to everyday team culture.
Parul is best known for her "Level Up" keynote, which uses concepts from nostalgic video games to deliver a unique, memorable, and engaging talk on neurodiversity in the workplace. She has delivered the talk at a range of events, including LeadDev London, Leeds Digital Festival, MCR DevCon, and RecFest. She has also delivered the more personal talk "Before I Had the Words" at NBCUniversal, and featured in Channel 4's documentary "Do You Have ADHD?"
Parul's LinkedIn newsletter, 'Dopamine Diaries', has over 8,000 subscribers and shares compelling insights on neurodiversity in the workplace. Her work has also been featured in Diginomica, a digital magazine and news website for business leaders, and she has contributed a chapter to the book 'Spectrum of Success'.
Serving as an Ambassador for ADHD UK and as a Union Representative for the United Tech and Allied Workers, specialising in neurodiversity casework, Parul is an inspirational advocate and voice for neuroinclusion. She is known for her colourful, high-energy style and her willingness to be candid about her own experience. Whether she's speaking to a leadership team, a recruitment function, or a company-wide all-hands, Parul makes complex neuroinclusion concepts memorable and immediately actionable.
