Parag Mahajani. — Co-Founder

I am a public speaker, a storyteller, and a technical trainer. My domain of delivery is scientific and technological communications. In Science: Astronomy and Space, Astrophysics, and Mathematics. In Technology: Telecommunications, Electronics Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, and Computer Science. At the moment, I am working at Thoughtworks, India, as a "Sci-Tech Communications and Writing" Principal. I communicate by simplifying teach-heavy scientific research to the non-researchers like developers, practitioners, executives, Cx-level people, and other stake holders of multinationals and corporates. In the total span of 32+ years, I have spent the first 14 years working for multinational corporations like Philips, Tech Mahindra (previous MBT), Cognizant, and BITS Pilani at various capacity. The next 14 years (2008–2021), I worked as an entrepreneur, forming my registered consultancy, Milkyway Citizens Outreach International. I worked internationally as a science and technology communicator and trainer. I have given full consultation for building five astronomical observatories worldwide (Maldives, Thailand, Vietnam, and India). As a writer, I have written and published nearly 300 articles in various state newspapers and authored two books on the sciences. A few more books are in the pipeline. You can access some of my blogs on Medium and Thoughtworks Insights.
