Nagapraveen Jayaprakash – Mobilisation Specialist at Accenture

Nagapraveen Jayaprakash came to France to finalize his degree after his graduation from the Shri Aurobindo International Centre of Education in Pondicherry, famous for its innovative teaching methods. He then joined Accenture and now works on assignments related to the transition and transformation phase of IT application outsourcing for important players like Sanofi Aventis, BNPParibas or Airbus.

India and France share a common history and the cooperation in the future will increase, it is therefore necessary for Indian and French people to know and understand each other. In this context, he has been organizing for two years business events within the Euro-India Economic and Business Group with the objective of bridging the cultural gap between France and India.

Those Happy Hours events held each month in a different place in central Paris attract a lot of entrepreneurs of Indian origin who can interact with French professionals, creating a dynamic network in a friendly atmosphere. In addition, guest talks on subjects such as microfinance, laws on foreign investment, defence, are held. As Nagapraveen always says: if we don’t project India properly, French will never understand us.
