Hi, I am
Dr. Prashant Sharma
Welcome to my corner of the internet!
This blog is a collection of my experiences, ideas and the ways I try to make sense of the world at the intersection of humanity, technology, and civilization.
I am an MBBS graduate from KMC Manipal (Batch 2018). Somewhere along the way, I realised my deep rooted passion to work on technology, engineering and interdisciplinary problems. I build things. I break systems apart. I try to understand how the future can be shaped, how the painful problems can be solved.
I founded Pensieve Labs to tackle the hardest problems in medicine with technology. As CEO and CTO, I lead both the vision and the engineering. I’m also exploring ambition - currently in stealth mode - through Blackfarms (solving the food) and Vel Dynamics (solving the energy and aerospace). Since 2020, running a company has taught me more about reality than any textbook ever could.
I love solving problems, reading, weight training, cooking, and learning anything that expands the range of what humans can do.
My worldview is shaped by a few principles:
- Urgency matters.
- Think independently, even if it means failing on your own terms.
- Kindness is strength, but awareness is protection.
- Sacrifice is the price of any meaningful ambition.
I’m deeply fascinated by Sanatan civilizational history, and by the idea that humanity can reach the Kardashev 2 civilization in my lifetime. (Extremely low probability, yes. But someone has to think about it.)
This space is where I write about my thoughts, experiments, problems, opinions, solutions and the questions worth asking.
If any of this resonates, you’ll probably enjoy the articles below.
