Pranav with DIA trophy, 2021
Pranav has over 13 years of experience in combining citizen science and urban planning, with hands-on experience in engaging communities, and local government institutions. He has a strong track record in grounding slum upgrading projects. Among his notable achievements are being recognized at the Glastonbury Festival for the Toilet Networking Project and featuring on Fever 104's Bharat Positive show for his work on the Trilokpuri Waste Management Project. Pranav also conceptualized SANMAN and led the creation of URBGOV, a spatial tool designed to help cities plan and monitor services more effectively. URBGOV’s recognition at Dubai International Award for Best Practices demonstrates its success and the strength of its underlying framework.
He is a certified Project Management Professional and a visiting faculty at the School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi. Most recently, he is pursuing his newly found interest in coding, spatial data processing and machine learning.
He is mostly quiet, until you offer him a pint of beer. But we wouldn't advice you to do that first. Try to give him a problem to solve. He loves that.
