Pragathi Guruprasad was born in Singapore to Indian migrant parents Guruprasad and Kanaka of Tamil origin on 14 September 1997. She has an elder sister, Saiprithvi. In Singapore, her father taught Carnatic lessons, and since at the age of five, Pragathi had also begun training in carnatic music. Her family subsequently relocated to Fremont, California where she continued learning Carnatic and Hindustani music from both her father at first and then from a teacher, Sangeetha Swaminathan, a disciple of Sudha Raghunathan.
In July 2014, she signed on to make her acting debut by portraying a supporting role in Bala's Tharai Thappattai (2016), but later opted out owing to her college commitments.[1] In September 2016, Bala later announced that she would portray the lead role in his next project starring actor Yuvan. However the film was eventually shelved before production began.[2]
In 2020, she made an appearance in a small role in the American comedy drama Never Have I Ever.[3] Pragathi sang the popular Tamil Sangam poetry 'Yayum Ngayum' for the album by Composer Rajan Somasundaram, which in July 2020, was featured in Amazon's Top#10 International Music albums.
