Gary Vaynerchuck’s view is that every business, every individual, should consider themselves a ‘media company’. I certainly think there is a lot of truth in that and your ability to clearly articulate the value you can create for others will be a key to success. Prerna, who spends much of her life in front of the camera, is perfectly positioned to help the rest of us hone our skills.

What’s your story?
Since I was a child, I loved talking to people and asking questions. So, journalism came naturally to me and I spent more than a decade working for broadcasters like Al Jazeera English, BBC & Reuters as a foreign correspondent. But entrepreneurship was always in my blood (my father owns a company) and I wanted to help companies and individuals communicate better. Thats how ‘Inspired Productions’ was born in Singapore almost 2 years ago. We help industries, entrepreneurs and individuals communicate better to their stakeholders through trainings & workshops. We also have a fantastic team of videographers who produce brilliant videos.
