Preethi Nair

"Preethi Nair is a one-woman whirlwind"- HarperCollins.Preethi worked as a management consultant and gave it up to follow her dream and write her first book, Gypsy Masala. Having been rejected by most publishers, she set up her own publishing company and PR agency to publish and promote the book all whilst putting on a suit and pretending to go to work. Working under the alias of Pru, Preethi managed to gain substantial coverage and after two years of a roller-coaster journey, she signed a three-book deal with HarperCollins. She won an Asian Women of Achievement Award for her endeavours and "Pru" was also shortlisted as Publicist of the Year for the PPC awards.Having never acted before (not even at school), Preethi went on to write, act and produce "Sari: The Whole Five Yards", a sell-out one-woman show in the West End. Preethi adapted this play into the novel, "Unravelling", which has been optioned for television. Preethi is also visiting professor at various business schools, teaching modules on creativity for personal leadership. See: www.preethinair.com
