Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPranay Kumar is a technology leader and entrepreneur with over nine years of formal experience and two decades of hands-on work in digital cinema, currently serving as a Board Member at the European Digital Cinema Forum and CTO and co-founder at GDC Technology. He has repeatedly led industry-first innovations—ranging from cinema automation and integrated immersive audio to 4K-HFR/HDR/8K media blocks—and now pioneers the "uberization" of cinema through his startup GoGoCinema. Equally comfortable in R&D, product management, and solutions architecture, he has built global technical teams, launched post-production businesses from scratch, and navigated strict DCI-spec security and reliability constraints. As principal of Drona Digital he advises startups and enterprises on disruptive product and technology strategies, blending startup agility with enterprise-grade engineering discipline. Based on an applied computer engineering background from Nanyang Technological University and early experience at Hewlett-Packard, he combines deep domain expertise with a pattern for turning niche cinema technologies into scalable commercial products. A less obvious strength is his sustained role across both volunteer industry governance and hands-on product disruption, giving him rare visibility into standards, market needs, and the path to commercialization.
