About this speaker
Hi everyone! I'm Pragna (she/her), and I'm so thrilled to share a bit about myself.
For over 25 years, I've been working in IT Service Management, but beyond my career, I'm passionate about creating a space where everyone feels welcome and included.
My journey with Diversity and Inclusion began in 2013 when I joined an LGBTQ+ network at a charity organization. It was the first time I felt comfortable being myself at work, and it was a revelation! Since then, I've grown so much more confident in sharing my story.
As the eldest in a South Asian household, coming out was a unique experience. That's why I'm so proud to be part of a global support group for South Asian LGBTQ+ women. We provide a safe, friendly, and fun space for each other – something I wished I'd had when I was younger.
In my free time, I love getting lost in a good book (crime, thrillers, autobiographies, self-development, and religion are my faves!), catching up on podcasts (or maybe even creating one of my own someday!), laughing at stand-up comedy, or enjoying live music. ️
Helping others is my true purpose in life, something my parents instilled in me from a young age. So, feel free to ask me anything – respectfully, of course! If I don't have the answer right away, I'll definitely find it for you.
I'm always excited to meet new people and learn from their experiences. Let's connect!
