Haritha Prasad, Acceldata’s Manager for Technical Publications was recently awarded as a “Top 100 Inspirational Women 2023” at this year’s Global Women Inspiration Awards by the I CAN Foundation.
Nominated under the “Women Education and Sustainable Tourism” category, the Global Women Inspiration Awards (GWIA) highlights exceptional women who bring about transformative changes in society. In an era where glass ceilings are being shattered each day, GWIA celebrates the courage and important contributions of women who forge their own paths across diverse industries and verticals. These awards present inspiring role models who encourage women from all walks of life to envision extraordinary career paths and endeavors.
Early on in life, Haritha recognized the importance of education and its transformative power on women in society. In cultural backdrops where women’s voices and dreams are often stifled by societal expectations and pressures, education possesses the power to uplift them. Her educational journey included time at institutions like IIT-Delhi, Mar Athanasius College of Engineering (MACE), and IIIT Hyderabad, where she engaged in STEM educational programs designed for women. Since the completion of her formal education, Haritha has organized numerous coaching sessions that empower rural women through education and financial independence.
In addition to her remarkable achievements, Haritha is an avid travel blogger and a passionate environmentalist. During her journeys across the country, she has planted hundreds of saplings in an effort to increase tree coverage, exhibiting her commitment to responsible tourism and the preservation of natural surroundings. Furthermore, Haritha has helped bridge the gap between various rural industries in Uttar Pradesh and urban markets. It's through these outstanding contributions that she was recognized and honored for her remarkable and inspiring impact within the community and among environmentally-conscious travelers.
During the award ceremony, Haritha expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Acceldata for providing her with the opportunity to work and flourish within a diverse and inclusive environment. She acknowledged the unwavering support and encouragement extended to her by the company throughout her journey, emphasizing the pivotal role Acceldata played in her success.
