Hello! I’m Pri. I build, I think, I write. Sometimes, I take things apart just to understand how they work, whether it’s systems, organisations, relationships, or technology.
I started as an engineer before moving into manufacturing, e-commerce, logistics, and product management. Along the way, I founded a matchmaking advisory business, launched this newsletter, advised the government, started teaching at IIT Madras, and guided startups on strategy, leadership, and decision-making.
But you see, I was never just one of these roles. My work has always been about understanding how people navigate trust, power, and systems of selection, whether in relationships, organisations, or technology.
Now, I’m turning my focus to AI strategy, governance, and the future of leadership. The same instincts that helped me decode how humans connect and choose are now shaping how I think about AI-driven decision-making, system design, governance, and policy.
Oh, and to be clear—I’m done with relationship coaching. That chapter is closed.
This blog is where I explore what happens when technology starts making choices for us—and what that means for leadership, power, and human agency.
This space will still be called Shapely Gal, inspired by the Gale-Shapley algorithm, a model not just for stable marriage, but for any economic system that allocates resources, optimises outcomes, and creates stability within constraints. The idea that better systems create better outcomes is what drives my work today.
If you're interested in how AI, leadership, and human systems intersect, stick around. Let’s figure out the future—intentionally.
