Toronto: Since childhood, Pravida Menon has been an ardent music lover. This adroit designer was born in the beautiful city of Palakkad and later settled down in Kochi. Pravida completed her basic education in Tamil Nadu and pursued a dual MBA in finance and HR.
Having a trained dancer as a mother it was no surprise when Pravida started showing interest in dancing. Seeing her enthusiasm for dancing Pravida’s mother started teaching her how to dance when she was 4 years old. Later on, she was taken to various gurus to learn Bharatnatyam, Mohiniyattam and Kuchipudi. This led her to participate in various dance competitions from a young age. Which led her to compete in the beauty pageant show winning her a sub-title in the pageant which was organised by the Kairali channel in association with Jos Allukas & AMMA.
This pagent was a changing moment in her life. After the pageant, she was offered various modelling gigs and ad shoots. While walking for these fashion shows she got groomed by the well-known fashion choreographer Dalu Krishnadas and well-known photographer Reji Bhaskar.

Her eloquence was seen more when she worked as RJ in Aaha Radio. While working for Yeeaaah entertainment she showed her prowess while hosting vlogs.
Right after finishing her MBA Pravida moved to Canada on an independent permanent residency in the skilled category. Initially, it was tough moving to a whole new country and integrating yourself into a new culture. Being in a new place was lonely as she didn’t have any friends or acquaintances at first but this travel enthusiast persevered. She first started to work in a call centre and later on got a job in a bank.

“Clay is a medium you get to mould and build something from scratch to your own taste” – this ideology motivated her in founding her own company ” Colosplaganza”. It is a company that creates handmade polymer clay pieces of jewellery and home decor. It was a dream come true for an aesthete like Pravida.
