What shapes the way you see a problem — and decide to act?
Meet Pranav Krishna Prasad (BBM, Class of 2025).
During his time at SMU, Pranav learned that entrepreneurship isn’t about perfect solutions. It’s about judgment, responsibility and acting with consideration for others. From supporting social enterprises during the pandemic, to contributing to deep-tech battery innovation, and amplifying youth-led sustainability stories across ASEAN, his journey reflects impact built through values, agency and community.
At SMU, students aren’t just taught how to experiment — they’re shaped to see what matters, and to act when it does.
