• Prashant Jain

  Entrepreneur, Author, Technology and Wellness Leader

  Prashant Jain is a technology entrepreneur, wellness builder, author, and speaker whose journey through disruption began in 1996, at the dawn of India’s first internet wave. He was part of the founding journey of Indiadomain.com, one of India’s earliest dotcom ventures, and worked on early e-commerce platforms such as HyderabadBazaar.com and BangaloreBazaar.com—long before digital commerce became a household habit. Trained as an engineer, he earned his Master’s degree from Wright State University, USA, and went on to build large-scale cloud platforms and digital infrastructure, including work on one of India’s largest data centers in Navi Mumbai. When the dotcom bubble burst, its impact went far beyond failed startups. Careers collapsed, identities fractured, and anxiety quietly followed. That lived experience—of rapid rise and sudden fall—became a lasting lens through which he now views progress.
