Bio
Dr Gautam Sinha
His long and distinguished career as a consultant endows him with a vast knowledge about diverse industries, which helps him bring invaluable insights in his teaching. He is an excellent communicator and I was always amazed at his innovative teaching methods which motivated the young MBA students to explore. His iconoclastic views of many topics are refreshing, exhilarating and thought-provoking. His specialty is coming to the heart of the matter quickly and rationally. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Prithwis.
Dipankar Ganguly
One the many talents of Prithwis has been his uncanny ability to spot the technologies of the future ahead of time and apply it to solve problems in the industry. His relentless grit to always bring something new to the table - resisting and bypassing all the mundane and superficial hurdles which a services focussed Indian software industry typically puts up to resist new thoughts, is admirable. I spent almost 2 years of my professional career working very closely with Prithwis on understanding and promoting Virtual World/Metaverse technology in IBM. As a pioneer in this area, he created a Virtual Worlds practice in IBM India,evangelized the benefits and power of these technologies, educated and helped global clients in realizing solutions to their business problems. An energetic leader, a programmer by heart, a fair and balanced human being. I wish him the best in all his endeavors.
