Preethi Nair

Entrepreneurial Author & Management Consultant

A Preethi Nair presentation will clearly and insightfully demonstrate to key staff that they too can work creatively around the most challenging of obstacles.

After her prized manuscript, Gypsy Masala, was rejected by most publishers, Preethi Nair shelved a lucrative career as a management consultant to set up her own publishing and PR company. Not having the resources to rent an office and publish her book, Preethi established a multinational in her bedroom and duly appointed feisty director, Pru Menon (an alter ego) to energetically and shamelessly hype her work. Nobody else knew of her scheme!

Working as several different people and with a frenetic double, sometimes triple life, Preethi gained substantial press coverage for herself.  And after two years, her faith in her own talents and her perseverance in the face of consistent rejection were rewarded; she signed her three-book deal with HarperCollins. 

• Preethi Nair won the Asian Woman of Achievement award for her endeavours.
• 'Pru' Menon' (the alter ego) was short-listed for PPC Publicist of the Year !

Preethi' Nair's Workshop for Creative Writing will immediately improve a marketing department's ability to communicate your and your client's most important brand messages.

The rights for the television adaptation of 100 Shades of White have recently been secured by the BBC . 

Her latest book, Beyond Indigo, a fictionalised account of her extraordinary  journey was released in September 2004. 

Preethi Nair also works as a travel writer for the Sunday Times, is a regular contributor on Radio 5 Live’s book panel and works with organisations to inject her unique brand of creativity into the work place.
