Case Studies

Turning a Manual, Error-Prone Process into a 70% Efficiency Win

Situation:

At Ronya, the customer support team had to manually key in quotations and invoices from different vendors. This was tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone, affecting turnaround time and accuracy.

Task:

I needed to find a solution that would reduce manual effort, minimize errors, and free up the support team to focus on higher-value work.

Action:

I designed and implemented an AI-powered document processing system using Microsoft Document Intelligence Studio. The system automatically read and extracted key details from vendor documents and integrated them directly into our processing workflow.

Result:

Manual effort dropped by 70 percent, errors reduced by 15 percent, and the team could reallocate their time to improving customer experience. The solution became a blueprint for similar automation initiatives in other departments.

Delivering $1 Million in Monthly Cost Savings

Situation:

At Synechron, we were managing large-scale transformation programs with high operational costs, and leadership was seeking major savings without compromising delivery quality.

Task:

I had to optimize budgets, increase efficiency, and still ensure every project was delivered on time.

Action:

I introduced strict budget tracking, re-prioritized projects based on ROI, and streamlined processes through automation and team restructuring. Vendor contracts were renegotiated to align costs with actual business value delivered.

Result:

The changes delivered $1 million in monthly cost savings, all while maintaining 100 percent on-time delivery. The approach became a cost-optimization playbook for other business units.

Rescuing a Chaotic Client Relationship

Situation:

While working with Thoughtworks, a major client was unhappy with our performance. Deliveries were delayed, communication was unclear, and the client doubted our ability to deliver.

Task:

My role was to regain the client’s trust and get the project back on track quickly.

Action:

I took control of the situation by first listening to the client’s concerns, then re-baselining the project plan. I restructured the delivery process, clarified ownership within the team, and implemented daily progress reviews.

Result:

Within weeks, the client’s feedback shifted from frustration to confidence. Deliverables were met ahead of schedule, and the relationship transitioned from “at risk” to “trusted partner.” This turnaround was cited internally as a model for crisis recovery.

Thomas Tietje
Head of Sales and Business Development Ronya

Prasant is a true "fixer," consistently demonstrating his effectiveness in turning around troubled teams and saving product development projects for clients. His ability to navigate tough environments and get projects back on track is unparalleled. Prasant's dedication, strategic thinking, and leadership make him an asset to any team or project."
Malikah Montgomery
Technical Lead Thoughtworks
"Prasant was a contractor working with me at Asurion and we worked together on a project to design and implement a new software platform to call center users. Prasant was instrumental in the success of this project (as well as the ongoing success of the platform) as his ability to recognize and solve complex problems is unparalleled. Prasant has an excellent memory for requirements and makes sure that his business partners' needs are met. In the event that a business partners' requirement is not feasible, Prasant offers a detailed explanation as to why it should not be done as well as offering 2 or 3 alternative implementations. Prasant would be an asset to any team and I believe he will be successful on any project."
David Yancey
Business Analyst Asurion
"One of the highly respected program managers in Synechron, Prasant is an ideal role model for anyone who truly wants to become a successful software development professional. Prasant has an enviable track record when it comes to managing complex projects having stiff deadlines, managing board level stakeholders, internal management challenges and to top it all, the ability to deep dive into any projects which he manages upto the source code level , Prasant has all the important qualities that most project managers do not display in general. I had the opportunity of working with him in Synechron and will surely look forward to the same opportunity once again."

Volunteering

Art of Living - Nashville

When I am not immersed in IT transformations, you might find me rolling out yoga mats, setting up serene spaces, and making sure the sound system works just as well for a guided meditation as it does for a keynote speech. Through the Art of Living foundation, I have helped organize everything from peaceful yoga and meditation sessions to thought-provoking talks with distinguished leaders. My favorite part is watching people walk in stressed and walk out smiling, almost like hitting the refresh button for the soul.

Global Musical Icon

If event planning were a symphony, I would be the conductor. As the lead organizer for Global Musical Icon, a talent hunt that spans from local preliminaries to grand finales, I orchestrate every detail. From creating scoring systems that keep things fair, to sequencing performances so the energy never dips, to delivering results with a bit of suspense, it is a mix of strategy, creativity, and a touch of showbiz. There is always that one last-minute microphone check that keeps me on my toes.

Gurukul

At Gurukul, I swap my project plans for lesson plans, teaching the Hindi language and helping students connect with the beauty of Indian culture. It is not only about grammar and vocabulary. We have brought history and tradition to life through skits, cultural performances, and the occasional “how did we pull this off” backstage moment. Seeing students not just learn but live the language through performance is pure joy.
