In her talk, Priyanka Prakash will explore converting ‘duality’ into ‘singularity’ by explaining her interest in music and business. Prakash believes music is a cathartic and uplifting experience, much like the intellectual stimulation that comes from solving complex business problems, and seeks to help her listeners find this harmony. Priyanka C. Prakash is an MBA student and an acclaimed Classical Musician, trained for 18 years in Indian Carnatic Music. With strong cultural and artistic roots in the Indian subcontinent, she explores two dualities â€" One, of being a global citizen through performing art & music; and Two â€" of converging the two worlds of Business & Music. Winner of the Governor’s Award for Classical Music & over 17 coveted awards for Music, she has performed 220+ concerts across India, United Kingdom and United States. At Chicago Booth, she specializes in advanced Finance, and graduates with concentrations in Finance & Analytic Finance. Priyanka is passionate about community building and giving back: she was involved with a student-driven outreach program in India that raised Art awareness among 1,500+ school children. At Booth, she is a Career Advisor, working to mentor first year students. She was recently selected as a student speaker at the Chicago Booth CFO Conference, speaking on Millennial Perspectives to a group of 75+ global CFO’s. She was selected among top-20 from 3,000+ applicants to present a paper at the World MBA Summit in 2016. She is a big proponent of the UChicago interdisciplinary wisdom â€" and strives to integrate Art, Finance and Community Engagement.
