Pallavi Prasad tells stories that demand attention. Stories that cut through noise, shift conversations, and make the distant feel close.

For years, she has worked at the intersection of storytelling, strategic communications, and design, shaping narratives that move people—to act, to fund, to change. She has designed and led narrative strategies across climate, gender, and public interest journalism, translating complexity into something undeniable.

Her work has been commissioned, broadcast, and amplified by the World Bank, Marico Innovation Foundation, Population Foundation of India, SHE Changes Climate, International Centre for Research on Women, International Olympic Committee, People’s Archive for Rural India, Newsworthy.Studio, The Swdl, The Quint, NDTV, and more.

Some of it is editorial. Some of it is film, photography, and design. Some of it lives in campaigns that make their way into boardrooms and policy meetings. All of it is built for impact.
