On the banks of the sacred Ganges…
where the river curves gently through the plains of North India…
stands a city that has seen empires rise and fall, religions born, and revolutions begin.

This is Patna — once called Pataliputra — a city older than Rome, Athens, or even Beijing.
A city that has lived through 2,500 years of history… and yet, today, it finds itself standing at the edge of something new — a future uncertain, but full of possibility.

Hi, I’m Dr. Preetesh Anand — researcher, entrepreneur, and founder of Oplus Cowork.
I’ve spent years studying how cities can grow sustainably — not just in theory, but in practice.
From building coworking ecosystems to creating sustainable business models, my journey has always been about connecting innovation with impact.
