About

I’m Pranav, a Partnerships and Marketing executive with a passion for entrepreneurship. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to build and scale multiple projects across a range of sectors. I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management with a focus on Marketing Management from NMIMS, and a Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering from Maharshi Dayanand University. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience as a Strategic Alliances and Partnerships Lead, where I’ve led various partnership initiatives like recruitment collaborations, brand partnerships, creator alliances, affiliate programs, new market expansion and corporate tie-ups, which have driven both revenue and credibility for early-stage edtech products. I also enjoy working as a career counsellor, guiding students and young professionals towards meaningful careers and helping them stand out in a competitive job market. I’m a firm believer in innovation and creative problem-solving, not just in business but also when tackling societal and market challenges. Outside of work, I stay active by hitting the gym regularly and enjoy reading - my growing collection of books at home is starting to look like a mini-library now. I believe great ideas are rooted in healthy discussions, so if you’d like to chat or connect, feel free to drop me a line at pranavpv1801@gmail.com.

Personal goal pursuit

Jan 2020Jan 2021 · 1 yr · New Delhi, Delhi, India

  • During this period, I focused on multiple small-scale projects and social enterprise ideas aimed at helping communities affected by the COVID-19 lockdown through solutions like e-commerce, online marketplaces, and community building. Here are three projects I launched and led:
  • Oyra Store: This social enterprise empowered local artisans by promoting and showcasing their traditional skills in a socially responsible manner. Our mission was to support indigenous communities in Rajasthan by offering a platform for their ethical handmade creations through e-commerce, especially during the challenging times of the lockdown.
  • Squadfitt: This fitness platform connected clients with trainers tailored to their fitness goals and budget. Squadfitt aimed to match clients with the right trainer to help them identify their fitness objectives, design personalized exercise programs, and guide them through workouts. The platform also supported trainers who lost their businesses due to the lockdown by helping them acquire clients for online fitness training.
  • The Bella Vows: Launched during the pandemic, The Bella Vows focused on onboarding planners to assist clients in organizing minimalistic weddings with a modern touch. We aimed to move away from the traditional big Indian weddings, promoting simpler, more intimate ceremonies that adhered to government guidelines. This platform not only facilitated beautiful low-attendance weddings but also generated business for wedding planners and others in the industry.
