Founders

SynTalk is founded by a few like minded people based in Mumbai, India.

Jyoti Narula Ranjan (Founder Synner): Jyoti has conceived the show & the platform and drives pre-production research, episode prototyping, episode design and technology-led dissemination. She is committed to creating a unique globally recognized platform for original long term conversations & thinking across disciplines. Jyoti has worked with several leading global and Indian technology companies and start-ups including Google, Star India (‘Hotstar’), Aricent, and Netcore. She has also independently consulted with small to mid-sized companies looking to (particularly) use the mobile communications medium for strategic ends. She has a MBA from Indian School of Business (ISB, Hyderabad), and a MCA from University of Delhi, New Delhi.

Team & More: The SynTalk team members (called Synners) are based in Mumbai, India. Those interested in volunteering as Synners (primarily research assistants, illustration artists, software programmers, or film-makers) may write to SynthesisTalk@gmail.com. There may be a few sub-projects to contribute to.

SynGrant: SynTalk Grants (SynGrants) are intended as a gesture of financial, infrastructural, ethical, & thought support for individuals with one original open ended question. More here.

SynToy: We introduced SynToy a few years ago as a technology enabled and algorithm-driven personal resource for thinking, & playing with ideas and concepts. We have discontinued it at the dawn of Turn Eight, as it turned out to be very hard to maintain, update and use. It may come back in a new avatar in the years ahead.

Thank you.
