It was year 2000 when Pragati decided to leave the comfort of home in a small town and luxury of Army Background and ventured to craft her destiny in Delhi. The streak of independence and risk-taking attitude that she picked up in the early part of career stayed with her for long and good. Starting with technology industry she made her way through corporate ladder. She worked with corporate biggies like HCL Technologies , IBM , Commerce Bank ( in USA ) .
