Hi! 👋 I'm Shreyas!

I like to observe, I like to make things, I like to launch things. Work is never done, only iterations are. Curious about most things, thinking and doing are the only way. Like to meet new people, like to meet new objects.​

Shreyas Prakash is a Product Manager with a background in designing products, systems and services.

He is currently consulting with Noora Health and was previously Co-Founder of dVerse Labs; a healthcare startup focused on tackling hospital-acquired infections. The startup is a recipient of the MIT COVID India Grant and is supported by IIT Madras as well as the Embassy of the US to India (Nexus).

Shreyas had also set up an educational non-profit (dHive Labs) to help children from marginalized communities invent for social good. Through his non-profit work, he has impacted 1200+ rural children to become social changemakers across India and Nepal.

Shreyas has extensively designed products for vulnerable populations, including deaf-blind runners, Alzheimer's patients and marginalized children. He holds an M.Sc in Integrated Product Design from Delft University of Technology (Netherlands). He has also been on the Advisory Board of hundrED Visual Arts Education (2020) and has been a recipient of several awards, which include the iF Design Talent Award 2020, the 3M Young Innovators Award, UNICEF Ideas for Change etc.
