Meet The Founder

"In underserved communities, we witnessed the harsh reality of educational inequality—and with technology evolving faster than ever, it was clear that the digital divide would only deepen. That’s why we created ProjectPlay2Empower: an interactive board game that introduces computer science in a way that’s fun, accessible, and deeply engaging. Designed to complement traditional subjects like English, Math, and Science, it fits seamlessly into the school day while offering students a playful, hands-on way to explore technology. Teachers have praised its impact, and students often choose to play it on their own, turning downtime into discovery and play into empowerment"

Pranav S. is the founder of ProjectPlay2Empower and a dedicated advocate for education equity. His journey began in 2016 during a trip to India, where he witnessed the stark disparities in access to quality education. Deeply moved by what he saw, Pranav joined PURE (People for Urban and Rural Education)—an organization working to bridge global education gaps—and has been actively involved ever since. Today, he serves as PURE’s National Student Director, leading initiatives that bring opportunity, innovation, and equity to underserved communities around the world. Through his work, Pranav continues to turn awareness into action, and passion into lasting impact.
