Bio
Sujith Simon
I have known Praveen Kanna from 2012 as a Friend, team-mate and later a business partner . Together, we have won 20+ National level Robotic events, build hardware products from Zero to revenue(As pet project) and had many cheated death experiences together. With this I have the privilege to endorse him . He is a wonderful SOUL with integrity, character and work ethics. On his early career his was fortunate to be mentored by a Global leader Mr.Ramki (Ford,China) absorbing his discipline, engineering knowledge and business acumen like a sponge. From a Trainee to Design engineer his growth was soaring. An irreplaceable assert to the firm. His thirst for learning made him to pursue his Master's in Sweden with his saving working 9 to 9, 6 days a week. As a to go person during crisis, I miss him in India. As product guy who can bring about magic in products, Praveen earns my highest recommendation.

I have known and mentored Mr. Praveen Kanna since I first introduced Product Development methodology first for some design projects that he executed when he started working as a Trainee Engineer with KRIYA Medical Technologies, and later when he was recognized and promoted to be a full fledged Design Engineer. Mr. Kanna is extremely bright and a fast learner. He grasped the foundational elements of design engineering and the interplay between specifications, Validation and the trade off techniques to balance market needs, quality, manufacturing and cost. I have seen him apply the Design Methods with diligence on multiple projects with great results. Many are already launched in the market and others going through validation prior to launch. He has continued his learning journey as he continues his Masters in Engineering ( Design/ Manufacturing Focus ); which illustrates his deep interest in seeking and obtaining skills! I highly respect his discipline, engineering knowledge, business acumen and most importantly work ethic. I recommend him with no hesitation for any assignment that leverages his capabilities and passion for engineering!
