"Pranav would be an excellent addition to any team working in data science and AI. Through AURIN's Urban Data Futures program, he showed not just strong technical skills in generative AI, but also a calm, collaborative way of working. He framed problems clearly, tested his ideas rigorously, and explained trade-offs in plain language. He turned literature into practical, reproducible data-validation workflows, took feedback on board, and helped others do their best work. I'm confident he'll make a real, immediate contribution wherever he goes."
