About me
Praveen Rao, a seasoned Government and Public Sector Advisor, is renowned for his adeptness in deciphering intricate policy landscapes. His proven track record of driving large-scale, tech-driven transformations across central and state governments in India is a testament to his deep strategic insight, gained from years of working closely with ministries, bureaucrats, and urban development bodies.
Though he calls himself an 'outsider' to policy, his work reflects an insider's precision. His influence on legislative affairs and key policy decisions is palpable, shaping growth strategies that align with national priorities and making a significant impact on the public sector.
His acclaimed book, Ballots to Benefits: The Impact of Pre-Election Social Schemes in India, challenges conventional thinking on political populism. It dares to ask uncomfortable questions—can democracy survive if fiscal responsibility is constantly sacrificed for electoral gain. His book has sparked nationwide conversations on subsidy culture, governance reforms, and the urgent need for bold policy shifts. It's not just a publication—it's a wake-up call to policymakers, voters, and thought leaders alike.
Armed with degrees from SBS Pune, Yale, and ISB and currently pursuing Public Policy at IIM Calcutta, Praveen blends academic rigor with ground-level expertise. As the founder of the Capturing Life Foundation, he not only champions good governance, sustainability, and civic awareness but also serves as a catalyst for positive change, inspiring others to follow his lead.
