Pranay belongs to the small group of writers and thinkers with an aptitude for and experience in both business and philosophy. He was admitted to Oxford at the age of 15, graduated at 18 to become a commodities trader, and then returned to academia five years later to begin a research and teaching career as a philosopher. He now works as a philosophical consultant to business and a writer and editor. Pranay’s areas of expertise include intergenerational justice, with a particular focus on how changes in technology and society alter what it means to be human, and the practical application of philosophy to life and business. His work includes an edited volume on justice and climate change for Cambridge University Press, parts of the UN IPCC’s 5th Assessment Report, and many articles for leading non-academic publications. A passionate cricket fan, he also writes about the sport as a correspondent for ESPN.
