Ever since his late college years, Praveen has been drawn to questions regarding the meaning of life, and one’s role towards creating a more humane and sustainable world. Over the last two decades, he has been involved full time with social experiments around the possibilities of personal and social change through non-formal education, and community-based initiatives. Praveen feels that society today has two fundamental fault lines. One is at the level of our worldview: i.e., our beliefs regarding what is happiness/success, who is a worthy human being, what kind of life/society is a good society, what ought to be our relationship with fellow humans, and with the rest of Nature. The second fault line is that of the Capitalist economic system. These two fault lines feed into each other, forming a vicious cycle. He believes that any attempt to better society that does not simultaneously address both would woefully fall short.
He has been a part of the Sambhaavnaa Institute ever since its inception – and has played a key role in conceptualizing, facilitating and anchoring our flagship programs like Nayi Dishayein and Buniyaad. Amongst other things, Praveen is a researcher and educator on issues around Economic systems, Economic history, mainstream Economics and its shortcomings, Development Economics – and conducts sessions around these topics in many of our programs.
Prior to full time social work, Praveen studied at IIT, Delhi and IIM, Ahmedabad. He worked in the corporate sector for over 8 years, primarily in Management Consulting across India and the United States.
