Hi 👋🏽 I’m Aparna

I'm an educator by training, an innovator by chance, and a disrupter by choice. I work at the intersection of equity, data, and organizational and systems change. 

I live to solve problems, connect people and build power.

Over the past 10 years, I've launched and scaled three companies, including a workforce development program for immigrant and refugee women in the Pacific Northwest, and building India's 1st online teacher education platform, which supported teachers across 10 states in its first year. I’ve built products that solve complex equity and people challenges using real-time data, grounded in human-centered design. In 2019, I co-founded Future for Us, a platform for women of color at work, growing membership to 20,000 in the first 18 months.
