Pranav Mistry

“I have a background in technology, design, architecture, arts and sciences. I see myself as a multi-dimensional person.”

“Att our MIT lab, there are people from diverse backgrounds like architecture, psychology, and philosophy, giving a holistic touch to the creation of any technology we may have in mind.”

“There is a revolution taking place in school and college campuses in India, and particularly in Kerala, much like the one that sowed the seeds of Silicon Valley in the U.S.”

“I am not interesting in making money. I go to the most expensive restaurant in Boston to have dinner. It is where billionaires come to eat. Even if I become richer, I will still have to go there to eat. After some time, money doesn't make a difference.”

“I am keen to serve one-sixth of the world's population where the miracles of science and technology would multiply manifold for betterment of mankind.”

“What we strive for is how we can provide the best performance and best design, whatever the customers want.”

“Exposure to fields like design to technology and from art to psychology gave me a quite nice/interesting viewpoint to the world.”

“In computing, everything happens inside this rectangular screen. I want to get the pixels out, paint the world, and allow us to interact with it.”

“For me, how an appliance looks is as important as how efficiently it works.”

“We have created something incredible. You don't need to get your phone out anymore. Gear takes the entirety of your digital world and places it right where you can see.”

“Whatever science fiction movies we watch now, we can make the technology real in two days. What we can do is not important. What we should do is more important.”

“As far as solving India's problems with technology is concerned, I think there are some wrong assumptions in making computing work at the grassroots. We need to go beyond the notion of technology being all about computers.”

“I get bored after I invent something because I hate talking about it every time.”

“We are looking for an era where computing will actually merge with the physical world.”

“I have always been interested in exploring how we can leverage our knowledge about everyday objects, and how we use them, in order to interact with our digital world.”

“One of my ongoing projects is to expand third-eye technology whereby two people can watch two different things on a screen or type in two different languages on the same surface - all they have to do is wear a pair of hi-tech glass spectacles.”

“We wanted to make a wearable of tomorrow that is designed for everyone. I can proudly say Galaxy Gear is tomorrow's state of the art.”

“Had I wanted, I could have set up my own company, secured funding, and made money. That proposition, however, does not excite me, since it would be a very self-centric goal.”

“The digital world has power because it has dynamic information, but it's important that we stay human instead of being another machine sitting in front of a machine.”

“There is no link between our digital devices and our interactions with the physical world.”
