Background
Praan (Praan, Inc.) is an impact focused deep-tech startup democratizing clean air using breakthrough filterless technology. The company is backed by top tier VCs and CXOs globally and currently operates between the United States and India. Our team puts extreme attention to detail and loves building technology that's aspirational. Praan's team and culture is positioned to empower people to solve large global problems at an accelerated pace.
Why?
Everyone worries about the dooms-day in climate change which is expected to occur in the 2050s. However, there's one doom's day which is the reality for millions of people around the world today. Air pollution takes more than 7 Million lives globally every single year. Over 5% of premature children death occur due to air pollution in developing countries. Everyone has relied on governments or experts to solve the problem, but most solutions up until today have either been too expensive or too ineffective. Praan is an attempt at making the future cleaner, healthier, and safer for the generations to come.
