A Managing Partner and founder of The Chugh Firm,Chugh is an ardent supporter of Pratham and has served as a member of its Los Angeles Chapter Board for the past seven years. “
Navneet is a tremendous talent and we are pleased to welcome him to the Board,” said Dinyar Devitre, Chairman of Pratham USA. “Navneet brings a wealth of knowledge and a fresh perspective to Pratham that will deeply benefit our fundraising and awareness efforts. We look forward to his insight and contribution as we continue to pursue our growth strategy.” “I am honored to help further Pratham’s mission of ‘Every Child in School and Learning Well’ and to help improve the lives of millions of children.

There are many solutions to the problem and Pratham is among the best accelerators.”
