Stories
In my journey, I've had the honor to work with superbly talented people, who are champions of their domain, and who taught me a lot during our collaborations. They've played a major role in guiding me to learn better, and were kind enough to share their experiences in working with me. Here are some of those stories.
Product Designer
It was a pleasure working with Prashant at BYJU'S. We worked together in the Magic Workbooks team and he took care of all sound design related responsibilities. He's a great team player which makes him easy to approach and to collaborate with. His skills range from being a talented musician to being a talented manager.
UX Pro, industry expert
Prashant understands physics, psychology and art of sound and music design. It's easy to work with him, he will figure out missing parts of brief And deliver beyond expected. He is alway ready for experiments to improve user engagement. Prashant is nice, humble and super knowlegable is sound and music design.
Teacher, Director
Prashant has been phenomenal in my growth - both personal and professional. Since I joined BYJU'S in late 2016, his nuanced feedback about my on-screen presence made me a better video teacher, conversations with him made me a better person.

I have had the privilege of collaborating with Prashant during our time at BYJU'S on the Disney K3 project. As a member of the PMO team, I witnessed Prashant's exceptional leadership skills and his role as the head of the sound team. His profound understanding of sound engineering was pivotal in creating high-quality K3 quizzes. Prashant's ability to convey complex sound concepts to the team and his agility in managing stakeholders were truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Prashant for any team; he's an invaluable asset who can drive success for any organization.
Our DAW plugin company [AudioCipher Technologies] needed help [...] and we were fortunate to find Prashant. […] Prashant was able to deliver exactly what we needed and in record time.
Here are some notes from my students who I've had the honor to interact with. I got to learn a lot from each of their perspectives that eventually enhanced my understanding of the topics I was teaching them:
I really learned alot from this course and I am hoping to implement sound in my games now. It was a great course for me. Everything was explained in a very intuitive way even for unity implementation. Great insights were provided on how things work in the industry and a mindset for sound design and it's impact has been created. One of the best courses! Thank you.

it really helped me a lot the whole course at the end feels like we touched upon a lot of things and now a sense of bit confidence in sound design is there. the knowledge given was vast and important at the same time didnt felt like pressure or heavy load, it was easy to grab and understand. took notes of a lot of things from adsr, eq, sfx, midi, channels, file formats to important tools, websites and softwares that can be extremely helpful in generating professional quality sounds for game projects. and im really glad for these stuff. overall everything was a great learning experience and good time investment.

This tailored workshop on Sound Design for Game Design was incredibly helpful, despite its brief duration of just one week. Firstly, I liked the way the classes were structured, with a target for each day. Secondly, the hands-on approach allowed me to quickly grasp concepts and experiment with software like Reaper and Unity. Learning basics of Music Theory and mixing techniques was particularly beneficial. Lastly, the amount of resources shared as well as their applications was really helpful. Overall, it was a highly valuable learning experience. Thank you so much Prashant.

It was a great workshop; five days for an introduction to sound design is appropriate. You explained these concepts in a fun way by engaging with the class and encouraging discussions and debates. This was possible since you have a 'sound' knowledge of sound design theories and their practical application on software such as Unity and Reaper, which is helpful for Game design and development. The source material has also been relevant and valuable. The teaching was direct and clear, and all our questions have been answered duly. Thank you.
The class was very informative and useful in understanding a new perspective towards designing games with audio. Besides that, the class gave a clear understanding of the basics of audio including nomenclature, different usage etc.
It's was a really good session, as a professional level and a personal level. Thankyou so much for giving a wonderful and productive session with us, looking forward for more sound design sessions with you 😁

One of the two most enjoyable and worthwhile modules in NID so far. Felt like I actually learned useful things. My one feedback would be to extend the module to two weeks, although thats really up to NID administration. Overall, an amazing module.
The workshop was very informative and got an insight on how sound design works inside game industry and provided me a new perspective to see game design in terms of sound design. The workshop was nicely organized...

Sound Design was completely a new thing for me. I really liked how you explained the whole concept from the very fundamental point to the business side of it, in this short period of time. I think it covered a huge part. It was a complete step up for me in terms of learning about sound and how to implement them in games or videos. I tried to grasp most of it but I feel I need to do more experimentation to understand everything in a deeper level. From my side I feel this module could be longer as it is an important part of game designing, otherwise I absolutely enjoyed the whole workshop.
- Spandan Biswas
I found this session to be both informative and captivating. The topics discussed were exactly what I needed to enhance my knowledge in game design and development. I appreciated the way questions were addressed during the session. Additionally, I have great admiration for the initiative you mentioned regarding integrating game audio into the game, particularly for aspiring game designers and developers in India.
The workshop was really helpful, and introduced a lot of new, important elements to us. And the fact that you covered more than just sound design, including the workings of the industry and some important tips to get there was really helpful.
- Paulomi Joshi
it was a fantastic workshop that provided a wealth of information. I appreciated that it also covered how we can utilize various applications in conjunction with Unity. This knowledge will enable us to seamlessly apply what we learned in the workshop to our game development projects.
