Tathastu Naranje
I translate market signals into strategic advantage for procurement leaders. I play guitar and keyboard, study singing, and treat practice as the discipline behind every craft. I wrote a novel about consciousness and dual existence. I research how AI is reshaping work — and publish my findings every week.
I don't just find data — I find the story within it.
Practice is the bridge between intention and craft. Every chord, every chapter, every category brief — the same discipline, applied differently.
Market intelligence, strategically applied.
I lead category market intelligence for global procurement teams — turning fragmented supplier signals, pricing benchmarks, and macro trends into briefings that sourcing managers can act on this week.

A meditation on perception, consciousness, and the porous boundary between thought and reality.
How AI is reshaping work.
