About Pranary

Pranary is a venture backed edtech company that is making business education practical

Our mission at Pranary is to inspire and equip people to build great businesses and live fulfilled lives.

Traditional education was built on the premise that there was lack of knowledge and so people needed to be filled with knowledge and needed to memorise lots of information. However, we live in a world where there is a lot of information that is easily accessible. The modern business learner is not starting from scratch. She has access to the Internet and libraries so she is not lacking information.

In fact, the deluge of information is confusing. She is impatient. She scans articles and watches videos at increased speeds or skips to find the specific information that she needs. And so the old way of teaching is not working for her.

The modern learner is looking for context-specific just-in-time GUIDANCE.
