Priyanka Mane comes form India and works as an IT product manager with an automobile company. On Instagram she talks about how she came to Germany and her experiences here. After completing her bachelor's degree in Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering in Pune, India, she decided to do a master’s degree in Information Management in Germany.
But when she arrived in Nuremberg in 2016, she discovered that her school-level German was not enough for living in Germany.

The next stage was an IT company, before she finally found her present position.
