who
to those who don’t know me, my name is pranav nair. i was born in california but raised in ny and now attend cornell university. i like to play tennis, dj, run, cook, take photos, and watch movies, to name a few things.
on a more professional side, i have founded two of my own companies, having sold and exited one of them. i have also interned for a number of start-ups and have been fortunate to have worked with ex-thiel fellows, y combinator founders, and serial entrepreneurs. these people have fundamentally pushed me and have shown me that the stars are not so far after all.
if you can’t tell, i dream of being something great. i’m just figuring out how to get there. in the words of daniel caesar:
i know my destination, but i’m just not there
i tend to not really have photos with my face in it oops
what
in this dump, i will be posting a number of things:
- brain dumps: when all i have is myself and my laptop, and no one else to talk to, those thoughts will be communicated here
- learning: i’m lucky to say i have come across many people that have influenced the way i look at life, and i hope i can communicate those things here with you
- projects: whatever crazy idea i want to bring into fruition, you’ll likely hear it here first
why
for many who know me personally, you all know i am not the best writer. but over the years, i have had the desire to share ideas, thoughts, and experiences with others but had no medium aside from photos. writing to me is the closest you can get to hearing my voice without me jumping on facetime or youtube. this mind dump will be something to document my life as i graduate and go on to do greater things. for anyone reading who doesn’t know me, welcome!
