In an extremely competitive tech sector, Prativa Mohapatra makes her mark as the first woman to oversee Adobe's Indian operations. With over 25 years of experience in the tech industry, including leading business transformation, expanding teams to meet accelerated growth, and evangelizing artificial intelligence technology with customers, she has carved her own niche.

Before joining Adobe, she served as VP Digital Sales for IBM's APAC region. Aligning with Adobe's values of creating the future distinctly and uniquely, she was quick to take on her leadership role.
