The word परिचय is a masculine noun that refers to the means of presenting one person to another.

Meaning: means of presenting one person to another (noun)

How do you pronounce it?

The word is pronounced as /pə.ɾɪ.tʃəj/. The three syllables are paricay.

In traditional formal settings, a person may introduce themselves by stating their परिचय in the third person to show humility or respect toward the listener.
While परिचय is used for a formal introduction, in casual social settings, many Hindi speakers might use the English word 'introduction' itself, as it is deeply embedded in the urban vocabulary.
In many Indian professional contexts, asking for someone's परिचय can sometimes be a polite way of asking for their credentials or background rather than just their name.
