About

Hi, my name is Pranav!

Fueled by a relentless curiosity, I embarked on a journey to unravel the workings of diverse industries, utilizing my college years as a fertile ground for exploration. Curiosity has not only been my guiding light but has also empowered me to confidently traverse unfamiliar sectors, absorbing a wealth of knowledge along the way.

My voyage thus far has been both varied and rewarding. Currently, I am refining my administrative and marketing expertise as a Marketing & Administrative Assistant II for the director of the MIT Center of Transportation & Logistics, Professor Yossi Sheffi. Before MIT, I was a Manager Candidate Program Trainee at Uniqlo Newbury Street in Boston, MA. It was a venture I embarked upon after an array of enriching internships and a solid educational foundation. My entrepreneurial experience with GIFTS Charcoal allowed me to navigate market challenges, create thoughtful products, and adapt to dynamic environments. Over the past five years, I’ve developed a strong foundation in marketing, brand strategy, and retail management, which has made me adaptable, innovative, and skilled at building meaningful connections.

When I’m not immersed in a project, you’ll find me exploring the vibrant streets of Boston, discovering hidden gems (and indulging in a pastry or two at Bova’s Bakery). I stay active with squash and court tennis, enjoying the thrill of the game and the occasional dramatic dive that may or may not be necessary. Traveling is another passion, with Guatemala holding a special place in my heart. Whether on the court or discovering new places, I believe staying active and maintaining a sense of humor keeps both the mind and body energized.

Passionate about crafting resonant brand narratives and propelling engagement, my aspiration is to meld my marketing savvy with retail management expertise to be a valuable addition to any team I become a part of. The diverse experiences I’ve gathered over the years have given me a unique perspective and a well-rounded skill set, which I am eager to apply in developing innovative marketing strategies and achieving impactful results. I am excited about the prospect of contributing both creative and analytical prowess to a dynamic team, collectively steering towards success and making a substantial impact.
