International Women’s Day – Spotlight on Bavani Prapaharan

This week our “International Women’s Day” spotlight is turned on Bavani Prapaharan, our Singapore based Demurrage Claims Manager. Bavani joined Integra in 2017 and we asked – “Vani, you have been with us for close to 5 years now. What has been the x factor which makes working with Integra different from the other companies you have worked in before? 

Bavani’s answer was: “To me what distinguishes Integra from other companies is the company’s flat hierarchy and people-oriented culture.”

Curious we asked what is the “people oriented culture” she is referring to. Her explanation was “Four years back, I started my academic journey in Logistics, Materials & Supply Chain Management at Singapore University of Social Science (SUSS) which was challenging and required a good level of planning & prioritization of tasks at work. I was offered a flexi work schedule by Integra knowing fully well that I had recently joined the company but to me, it displayed the amount of trust Integra had on me and this motivated me to successfully complete my studies with distinction.”

She concluded “The people-oriented culture has definitely helped me thrive and grow with the company for which I consider myself very fortunate”.
