Commit yourself wholeheartedly to your pursuits and embrace the support of your loved ones.
Pragya Bhandari, a Chartered Accountant (CA), is currently working at Heritage Girls School in Udaipur after her marriage and relocation.
Born and raised in Jaipur, Pragya completed her schooling at Subodh Public School and graduated from Kanoria Girls College in Jaipur. She pursued CA due to family influence and the belief that it would complement her interest in pursuing law.
After completing her CA course following her wedding, Pragya became involved in work at Heritage Girls School in Udaipur, where she found an opportunity to explore her abilities and interests.
Talking about struggles in her life, Pragya says that when she was pursuing her CA, she was good with theoretical subjects but had to work really hard on practical subjects. Besides, she had an articleship at her family firm, so her work hours would extend beyond normal. But she says that the upside of this was that she got to learn a lot and got good exposure to channel her learning. She even had to face critics, who doubted her ability to crack CA. But she took all of it in a positive manner and proved herself with her results.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought its own set of challenges for Pragya, with her CA final exams being postponed and her wedding taking place under restricted circumstances. However, she found solace in the increased time spent with her family and realized the importance of their support in her life.
Becoming a CA is Pragya's proudest achievement, considering the demanding process and the dedication required to succeed.
Pragya draws inspiration from her father, who has always supported her endeavors, while also acknowledging the emotional support of her mother, sister, and other family members.
Pragya believes that whatever happens happens for a reason. If she could go back in time and undo something, she would want to be more consistent and focused with her CA preparation and avert the failure of not clearing it in her first attempt.
Pragya says that meditation has played a significant role in her life, providing clarity and inner calm.
Beyond her professional pursuits, Pragya enjoys dancing, singing, reading books, working out, and practicing meditation.
Pragya appreciates that Heritage Girls School prioritizes overall development and practical knowledge alongside academics and maintains smaller class sizes to foster better understanding.
Pragya's message to others is to pursue their passions wholeheartedly.
