Cllr Punam Rane
I live in Rathgar with my husband and daughter. My daughter Sasha studies at a local secondary school in Milltown, and my husband, Ashwin works locally in technology. Originally from Mumbai in India, I came to Ireland in the late ‘90s to join an Irish technology company as an IT consultant.
During my professional career, I have worked in leadership roles for many multinational tech firms. In 2018, I co-founded an IT services company with clients across the globe. I lead the UK & Ireland operations.
In 2019 I stood for council elections and was elected as a Councillor in Dublin West representing a very large geographic area with a diverse mix of people.
As a parent, I know how important it is for children and young adults to take part in activities involving physical fitness to help channel their energies in the right direction.
I have been involved in local running and basketball clubs, encouraging adults and children to participate. As someone who has lived in this area for many years, I fully understand the local issues, concerns, and needs. I will make these issues a priority in my work with Dublin City Council.
I promise to represent you and to lead with honesty, keeping you informed about issues that affect you and our local community
