Dondoo who graduated in chemical engineering, but again, came into software field. He worked with Infosys for a long time and recently joined Sapient at Gurgaon. Hardwar, one of the holy cites of India, is his hometown. Respected and also teased for his passion for mathematics he actually used to be a good-looking "Raja-Beta" kind of person. He got married to Rati in 2006 and is currently trying to adjust in North India, returning there after five years.

Generous, suave, docile, agile and yes,intelligent are few words to describe him. Mathematics is in his blood. That is his favorite subject and solving puzzles is his hobby (no doubt, it helped him to make it to Infy). Praveen is the kind of person who could never hesitate to help out anybody and at anytime. Because of his methodical approach to studies, we used to joke that had he been not a part of our gang, he could have been a topper kind of person in the Institute. His saying "Don't do" in a serious and no-nonsense mood to us when we bantered endlessly made us call him "Dondoo".

But over the years, Dondoo has matured in his basic nature also, among other things. He has also become more refined in his usage of the language and no longer has that unstable thought process, for which we had so many jokes.
