Praan operates a hardware-software stack for particulate and CO₂ capture from ambient air, combining embedded systems (ARM, RTOS, MQTT) with cloud data pipelines (Node.js, React, PostgreSQL, AWS/Azure). Active hiring across engineering, design, and sales—with notable velocity in design and manufacturing roles—reflects a company scaling from prototype toward commercial production. Projects include new embedded platforms, sensor calibration systems, and commercial certifications (UL, LEED), while pain points cluster around manufacturing cost reduction and channel partner execution.
Praan is a venture-backed deep-tech company developing patent-pending filter-less technology for capturing airborne particulates and carbon dioxide. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in San Francisco with engineering in Mumbai, the company combines electrochemical and mechanical sensors with IoT and cloud analytics to deliver real-time air quality monitoring and capture. Current operations span product development (new embedded platforms, cellular/WiFi MQTT brokering), manufacturing scaling (cost reduction, sustainable methods, production ramp-up), and commercial pathway work (UL and LEED certification). Sales include both direct channels and a partner model via Hive platform distribution.
