DR. PRAVEEN SHANBHAG

Praveen is the Founder and CEO of NameCoach. Initially inspired by his sister’s name getting mangled at her college graduation, Praveen built NameCoach's first product to enable schools to easily collect and embed audio recordings of student names and gender pronouns wherever instructors and staff need to access them (e.g., on class rosters, for graduation, for advisers). His company’s mission is to enable respectful and inclusive interactions in every interaction. Praveen got a PhD in Philosophy from Stanford, an MPhil in History of Technology from Cambridge, and BA in History from Harvard - but scrapped it all to build some tech.
