Praveen Shanbhag

Praveen has a PhD in Philosophy from Stanford, and other degrees from Harvard, Cambridge, and Columbia. Like all philosophically-trained individuals, he likes asking unusual questions, and one was: 'if we all know that the sweetest sound to a person is their own name, why are names so often mispronounced?' With the help of many amazingly-talented people, he founded NameCoach to provide an answer.
