The session kicked off with an interesting talk on “Work-Life Integration” by Ms. Shalu Ahuja, Working Parenthood Coach and Senior Mentor at Prayaana. She talked about how it is important for everyone, especially women to find time for themselves between balancing work and responsibilities, for their health as well as for their productivity.  The new members of the Prayaana Community introduced themselves and shared how excited they were to be a part of an environment where women support, motivate and help each other. The program was hosted by Ms. Deepa Perumal, who taught the new members the “Prayaana Mudra”, the long-standing tradition followed in every meeting. All the women happily came on camera to pose for a

Community Photo. It was followed by an introduction to Prayaana and various initiatives by Ms. Binu Anjou – Head of HR Operations. The Team Leads for all the initiatives gave a brief introduction to their respective projects, namely Ms. Sreekala S – Head of C2C Mission, Ms.
