ABOUT PRAGYA MADAN

Leading With Integrity Comes With Challenges.
I am Here to Light the Way.

I’m Pragya Madan, a Certified Integral Coach and Senior People & Culture Leader with over two decades of experience across the nonprofit, philanthropic, and corporate sectors. I specialize in guiding leaders and organizations through transformative processes that emphasize integration, authenticity, and alignment with core values.

As a coach and trusted advisor to CEOs and organizational leaders, I help my clients navigate the complexities of their roles while fostering inclusive workplace cultures. In my previous positions as Advisor of People & Culture, Vice President of People Operations, and HR Director, I have effectively developed and implemented HR strategies that align with organizational missions, drive sustainable change, and support diverse workforces.

My Approach

I use a whole-person and whole-system approach to foster lasting change.

This means addressing challenges not just at the surface level, but by exploring the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and emotions. I guide leaders and organizations in uncovering the core beliefs, behaviors, and systemic patterns that shape their outcomes. By approaching growth holistically, we go beyond quick fixes to build deeper alignment, clarity, and sustainable progress.

More About Me

Born and raised in the vibrant city of Delhi, India, I grew up surrounded by a community deeply rooted in respect, Indian values, and a drive to excel.

I now reside on the occupied Duwamish Territory in the Pacific Northwest, now called Seattle, with my husband of 20 years and two sons.

I am committed to community service, volunteering as Advisor at Grassroot Projects and engaging with my son’s school PTSA. Having previously served as the first DEI Chair, Membership Chair, and Fundraising Chair, I’m dedicated to amplifying underrepresented voices and supporting efforts to create an inclusive, equitable school community.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me exploring the Pacific Northwest’s natural beauty or cooking Indian food for family and friends.
