He was born and brought up in Khandwa (Madhya Pradesh). During his graduation, in the third year of electronic engineering, he quit his college because he did not find it beneficial and worthy. Thereafter, he pursued Robotics from Biomedical Research at MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts through distance learning after completing a six-month FAB training course in Pune.
One day, Prashant had a conversation with a seven-year-old girl, who was born without arms. The cost of prosthetic limbs is almost 24 lakhs, which cannot be afforded by a lot of people. That day, he decided to do something for her and started working in this field.
