Prakriti Pahari

Before Ross, I was a Senior Product Manager at the Ministry of Finance in Nepal. My role allowed me to drive the country's tax reform strategies and lead digital transformation initiatives, impacting millions of citizens. What I loved most about my work was the ability to create a tangible, nationwide impact. I’ve also had the joy of being an Assistant Professor for undergrad students. Teaching was a fun and rewarding experience—I loved being surrounded by curious minds and learning from my students as much as they learned from me.

Beyond that, I’ve been deeply involved in volunteering for Girls in Tech. One of the most meaningful experiences was traveling to remote areas of Nepal, empowering young girls with coding skills. I’m passionate about making a bigger impact through technology, and that’s what led me to Ross.

Ross’s vibrant, supportive community and its focus on real-world impact made it the perfect place to continue my journey. I knew I had to be here to get closer to my dream of using tech to drive change on a larger scale.

Outside of academics, I love to travel (always on the lookout for the next adventure) and cook (let’s chat if you’re into culinary arts!). Feel free to reach out if you want to talk about opportunities in tech or consulting, moving to the US, navigating Ross with a partner, clubs, and extracurriculars at Ross, I’m here to help!
