Pranav’s passion for innovative, consumer-centric metrics took shape during his time as a Senior Consultant with international innovation strategy consulting firm, ReD Associates. At ReD, Pranav worked on multiple diverse projects. He helped a leading white goods (home appliances) company adapt a product for the Indian market, where a poor understanding of the local consumer profile had led to ineffective product design and communication strategy. In a different project, featured at the 2010 Venice Biennale, Pranav helped a team of international architects design a truly innovative European metropolis of the future with an unprecedented quantitative analysis of the successes and failures of the world’s great cities. Later, he helped a gaming company reinvent an age-old game for a user base rapidly evolving with the advent of mobile and social media platforms.
