What people say about working with me

Feedback from professors, researchers, and research institutions across Europe and beyond — on training and keynotes, science communication, and the Under the Microscope podcast.

It was easy and natural to talk to Pranoti as a podcast host. She creates a positive atmosphere and tries to make even stressed guests more relaxed. Her follow-up questions make it easier not to forget something important and give time to think about the answers.

Appearing on The Science Talk was a genuinely enjoyable and recommendable experience. Having Pranoti as a host made something as initially daunting as a first podcast feel surprisingly natural. From the clear pre-recording guidance to the thoughtful post-recording debrief, every step was designed to put me at ease.
Jose Luis Ocaña Pujol PhD Researcher · ETH Zurich Under the Microscope podcast guest
Pranoti and her team created a customized personal branding workshop which was very helpful for our summer school participants, covering an important topic they were unfamiliar with. They were also incredibly engaging and fun, frequently bringing the house down with laughter.

Dr. Said Rodriguez Group Leader · AMOLF The Science Talk podcast & curation
I have been working alongside Pranoti for the best part of 6 months and what is clear is that she is a sea of knowledge. As well as being incredibly professional, she brings creativity and positivity to everything she does. Since recently becoming a freelancer, and working on The Science Talk more, Pranoti is a scientist unbound, and the content she produces is top quality and fun, as well as informative. I would highly recommend following and connecting with Pranoti, and witness her expertise for yourself!

In 2022 I started to work with Dr. Pranoti Kshirsagar in her role as Founder of The Science Talk. Working with Pranoti regularly to create science communication and public outreach content, I can say that she has an incredibly constructive and enthusiastic approach to work. She has a truly once-in-a-million combo of creativity and business growth, and I know that I can always approach her for constructive feedback and advice. I particularly like that she brings energy, motivation, and creativity to each conversation, making it a true joy to work with her.

Dr. Pranoti is a rare individual who can articulate complex topics in a creative and engaging manner. I have had the privilege to collaborate with her at The Science Talk where she mentored me and our team in science communication and gave us a platform to learn and build podcasts for the Under the Microscope series. I would highly recommend her for leadership and communication positions.
Sanket Suman Dash Vice President · InspeCity LinkedIn recommendation
I've enjoyed a close working relationship with Pranoti for about four years when she was a Senior Product Manager at Springer Nature. Throughout this period, I have seen Pranoti excel at all aspects of her work. She has a creative (and sharp) mind which she brilliantly balanced with a solutions-focused and customer-centric approach. She has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the needs of the scientific community, which was a huge strength in the further development of the products she was responsible for. I have found her to be inspiring and fun to work with, and I cannot recommend Pranoti highly enough.
Martijn de Valk Director Institutional Sales — Scandinavia, Belgium, The Netherlands · Springer Nature Group LinkedIn recommendation
Pranoti is a once-in-a-generation product management professional. I had the privilege of managing Pranoti directly when working together on Springer Nature's first AI-based platform for scientists in the materials domain. She was always a step ahead of her peers and had a knack for finding the pain points of our users and building solutions that created the highest impact. She has excellent user empathy, commercial acumen, product strategy and marketing whiz, making her a brilliant product strategy professional.

I found the workshop insightful and inspiring to further develop my own personal brand as a scientist on professional social media. Great tips and tricks were shared to enhance visibility, increase engagement and grow followers. I would recommend the workshop if you are looking for structured ways to 'shine' in the digital world!
Professor · Maastricht University Personal Branding Workshop — YES Meeting
Very interesting — I got in contact with new people and it was an opportunity to think about the interesting aspects of my job that I could share. It was also more intense than I thought it would be, as writing reasonable threads takes time! Very happy overall.

It was a nice experience to show my work and my career to new people. I had total freedom to post, with suggestions from Pranoti when required. The experience was fun and enriching.
