Bio
Martha Buckley
I have had the honor of working with Pratish during a semester long venture creation project at Babson College as part of our MBA program. In my time working with him, I have been tremendously impressed by his work ethic, intellect, innovative mindset and most importantly, his genuine sense of curiosity. Pratish has a gift of translating business concepts from ideation to implementation in a way that inspires fellow colleagues to both buy in, and have the desire to help operationalize his strategies. Even more importantly, Pratish has the intangible leadership skills that every team dreams of having. He is authentic, passionate, listens adeptly and has a way of making an entire team feel valued. Working with Pratish has been a privilege and I sincerely hope we get to collaborate again in the future. Given my experience working with him directly, I could not more highly recommend him for any role or opportunity - as he will make tremendous impact wherever he goes next.
