Balakrishna Parankusam Venkata

Retail Indutry Principal

I joined Thoughtworks in 2021 as a retail domain specialist.

 

My role requires me to be closely associated with large retail accounts in North America. I collaborate with Thoughtworks' customer-facing leadership teams to drive thought leadership and shape holistic solutions for our retail customers.  

 

I am passionate about influencing social change in education for the physically challenged and underprivileged. I volunteer at NGOs to explore avenues for education reform, curate digital teaching mediums and drive fundraising events.

 

I live in Bangalore, India with my parents, wife – Vidisha who is a seasoned fintech professional and my children – Rishi, a MasterChef aspirant and Rohan, who wants to join the Indian Armed Forces.

Thoughtworks acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live, and their continued connection to Country. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were the world's first scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land. 

 

As a company, we invite Thoughtworkers to be actively engaged in advancing reconciliation and strengthen their solidarity with the First Peoples of Australia. Since 2019, we have been working with Reconciliation Australia to formalize our commitment and take meaningful action to advance reconciliation. We invite you to review our Reconciliation Action Plan.
