Alisha Pradhan (pronounced [əˈliːʃa ˈprɑːdʱaːn]; born 22 February 1994) is a Bangladeshi actor, social entrepreneur, media personality, and businesswoman. She is the founding CEO of HerNet TV, secretary-general of HerNet Foundation, and Chief Curator of HerNet Fine Arts Pradhan has been working for the  United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly on Gender equality, Youth empowerment, and fine arts and cultural diplomacy. She is the first Bangladeshi woman to speak at an international TEDx stage.

Alisha is also a former Bangladeshi film actress, television Show moderator and film Investor. She rose to prominence as a teenager on television. She later starred in several films, most notably with Emon in director Chashi Nazrul Islam's final two pictures, Antaranga and Bhul Jodi Hoy. Pradhan retired from acting in 2016.

Alisha regularly writes for leading Bangladeshi newspapers.

Alisha Pradhan was born to Monir and Hosna Pradhan, both businesspeople. She is the second of three children, born between older sister Faiza and younger brother Ryan. She grew up in Dhaka, Bangladesh. From age 8, she studied classical dance at Bulbul Academy for Fine Arts. Later she learned Western and Latin dance and hip hop.

In 2008, at age 14, Pradhan began her show business career by modeling in a television commercial for Cova chocolate bars. She returned to the form two years later in an advertisement for Bangladeshi soft drink Uro Cola with actor Riaz, and did a second commercial for the beverage with Emon in 2012.

While still in school, she appeared in more than 30 dramas and serials on the small screen, including NTV's Dakhinayaner Din, Fazlur Rahman's Swapnochura, Ferdous Hasan Rana's Dahan, and Mostofa Sarwar Farooki's First Date. In 2011, she performed an item number for a film by director Raffael Ahsan, then titled 69 Patla Khan Lane. Legal objections by the owner of that address delayed the film, and it would not be released until December 2015, under the new title Noy Choy.

She completed her A-levels in mid-2012.

Pradhan made a guest appearance in the film Eito Bhalobasha, which was released in early 2013. Meanwhile, she became a presenter for broadcasts of the 2013 Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) cricket season.
