About

Have always been a warrior to build better, whether it’s Self, Market Value, a Passion, or a Product. Possessing the “Go for it!” attitude has taken me across places successfully. The transitions have been from an amateur product and market enthusiast to a start-up founder. Along the way, I’ve also embraced storytelling, creating content that captures real conversations, reflections, and insights from the world of startups, security, and beyond. From video series to quiet thoughts, it’s all part of the journey. 🎥 YouTube Channel - Real Talk with Founders, CISOs & People Who Move the Needle - https://www.youtube.com/@ByPrasen Aiming to have a larger-than-life experience, with everything learned and imbibed. Beholding faith to build an expansive knowledge base.
