PRANAV BAKHSHI

Pranav, diagnosed with autism at age two, was always introspective, reflective, and self-inspired in his desire to express himself. He has delivered 3 TEDx talks and he wrote his scripts himself, declining the support of the curators saying that he wanted to speak what he thinks. At the E-cell initiative 'Understanding Autism', at IIT Bombay, the audience was moved to tears. He questioned the 'suffer from autism' narrative and declared that everyone has challenges. We should know how to deal with them. On World Disability Day, he addressed Microsoft pan India and won hearts with his talk about his various achievements. He was also a part of India Autism at Work Summit’21 Organised by Thomson Reuters, JP Morgan and SAP. He has performed for Tata Cliq.
