Preksha Sharma
Community Builder
Preksha is a former corporate lawyer who now leads business marketing at a leading Insurtech. As a community builder, terminally online Gen-Z, and an experimental person through and through, she has very strong feelings on reclaiming public spaces. When she moved to Bangalore in 2022, she wanted to visit Cubbon Park more often, read more books and make new friends - so she started Cubbon Book Club with a friend. Sometimes she makes YouTube videos for fun but now that she lives in Delhi, on most weekends you'll find her at different monuments and parks hosting picnics, playing board games with friends, eating sandwiches, or reading fun books.
