Krithik Ranjan is passionate about increasing the impact of technology among marginalized communities, including people with disabilities, the elderly and the resource poor. He wants to rethink how we use and create with computers to develop intuitive and low-cost modalities of human-computer interaction that enable more people to explore their creativity through technology.
