I have never been so at a loss for words to say… I find it too difficult to believe that Pranav is not around anymore. Pranav was not only a wonderful colleague but a very dear friend as well. He was just so brilliant in so many ways. He was a remarkable professional, a man of unquestionable integrity, with an amazing heart and an incredibly sharp mind. It seemed, that there was no challenge big enough for Pranav to call too big. And he was always ready to go out of his way to lend a helping hand wherever it was needed. There are so many things about Pranav that I will always miss; his hearty laugh, his sense of humour, his infectious smile, which was rarely missing from his face, his love for poetry and good puns, his analytical and mathematical skill, his ever-encouraging manner, the great conversations we’ve had and so much more that made him the kind of lovely person he was. My prayer is that God, having taken Pranav away so unthinkably soon and suddenly, will give his family the comfort and grace to go on …
