Always asking: What else could life be?

Somewhere between method and madness, I make things.

Hi, I’m Prateik! I’m curious about people, places, culture, psychology, and the invisible systems that shape how we experience the world around us.

I currently work as a software developer, though my interests and work often spill far beyond code.

I run Konkan Travel Club, where we create offbeat travel experiences and meaningful connections across Konkan, especially Sindhudurg. Much of my work revolves around immersive experiences, storytelling, fieldwork, systems, and understanding how people connect with places and each other.

I believe life is often more about unlearning a few things than constantly searching for a new fix. That thought quietly shapes a lot of how I live and what I choose to build.

Outside work, you’ll usually find me travelling, reading, playing football, writing occasionally, or disappearing into thoughts and observations for longer than necessary.

A lot about life fascinates me.

I love creating things that mean something. I’d probably describe myself as an introvert until curious, drawn, or provoked.

Welcome to my corner of the internet.
