PRIYANKA BRAHMBHATT
An entrepreneur on a quest to build a legacy.
I’m Priyanka B, an entrepreneur, Forbes NY Business Council Member, Forbes U30 and UN Sustainable Development Goals Advocate. As a leader, I strongly believe that the forces of nature often shine on those who give back. The more you give to the world, the more you get in return. For me being an asset to society has been a rewarding experience both personally and professionally.

Join me in my efforts to make the world a better place for our future generations. A place that we are proud to hand off to our children.

Let’s make change happen!

About me
We are driven by certain values: mine are determination, frankness, and fairness. I was born into a business-breathing family, and marketing has always been my passion.

I started working at the age of 16, under my father’s guidance. I founded my first company at 21. I graduated from St. John’s, Fordham & Harvard while pursuing internships, running a startup and holding a full time position in my last semester at Harvard.

It has been a decade since I began this journey. In the meantime, I’ve seen good ideas turn into excellent products. I watched great teams form and disband. I have experienced success, but also failure. And I’m here to share what I learned so far with everyone – and to keep growing.

My Career

2010

I began working as a Carrier Relations Executive for Bridgevoice, a telecommunications company. During this year, I focused on end-to-end-sales and partnered with global carriers to manage 30 accounts. Over the next two years, my team would end up gaining more than 40 new accounts. Also Joined US Army Reserves Officer Training Corps.

2012

While in High School took a position as a Cross-vertical M&D Associate for Broadband Telecom and Panamax Infotech (Bankai Group) in New York City. I centered on market research and database management, working along with tech departments to implement cross-functional sales strategies for the Voice and Technology verticals.

Testimonials

“It is rare that you come across a student as dedicated to understanding marketing as a discipline as Priyanka. She loves the subject, and her enthusiasm shines through. Priyanka was my student in all three of my courses: Analytics for Consumer Insight, Marketing Strategy, and Service Marketing, so I can attest to her very strong, well-rounded marketing skills. Moreover, she received a gold medal from the national marketing honor society. I have no doubt that she will be a successful marketing scholar or a leading marketing executive in the near future.”
