In Memory of Prerana Phadnis

With the deepest sadness we learned of the passing on 16 July 2025 of Prerana Phadnis, our close business associate and dear friend.

For many years Prerana worked with Ritec International in her role as Business Advisor for Prefix Associates. Our colleagues and partners had the privilege of her continued support and advice and were inspired by her business integrity and imaginative and enthusiastic attitude, her generosity, empathy and kindness to us all. She advised and assisted with meetings and trade shows, and with her deep insight in our business she guided us in negotiations at all levels and assisted us in applying for, and winning, several business awards. Prerana was an invaluable connector, bridging the gap between individuals and organisations through her remarkable work.

With Prerana’s close cooperation we developed a partnership with Roshnak Systems LLP in India, owned by members of her family with whom we have now been working for several years. They have developed a growing business and are one of our most valued partners.

Prerana had a wonderfully calm way of conducting meetings and negotiations, with patience and gentle strength steering discussions towards what was relevant, listening to everybody’s opinions, giving encouragement so others would feel relaxed and sufficiently confident to participate and share thoughts and contribute to meaningful conclusions. With empathy, kindness, and genuine interest she got the best out of everybody and brought humour to each occasion making serious business more fun. She would light up the room with her positive attitude and generously shared knowledge gathered from own experience during her long and varied career.

Several years ago, Prerana made a complete career change to concentrate on creating mosaic artwork for which she received great acclaim and awards. At the same time, she found time to publish an inspirational book featuring her beautiful mosaics and giving thoughtful and helpful advice on how to live a life that matters, generously based on her own experience. Her interests and creative talents in her varied careers touched so many people who will forever remember her with gratitude and deep affection. She made our world a better place and we treasure the time we spent together.

Our deepest condolences go to her family at this time.

With sincere thoughts
Karen Byers and the Ritec Team
