Pravodha saves the explanation under the expert's name, so it stays when they move on.

The problem
Why teams lose institutional knowledge
Three patterns repeat in every growing company.
Knowledge walks out the door
When a senior engineer leaves, their context on hundreds of decisions leaves with them. New hires spend months reconstructing what the team already knew.
Experts become human FAQs
The same questions get asked over and over. The people who know the most get interrupted most, lose deep work time, and eventually stop responding.
Documentation mandates don't work
Wikis go stale the week they're published, and nobody has time to maintain them. The knowledge that matters most stays in chat and email, and disappears within weeks.
How it works
Knowledge capture that happens inside conversations already taking place
Your experts already share valuable knowledge every day. Pravodha preserves it at the moment it's created, without asking anything extra from the people who know the most.
A valuable conversation happens, and a teammate saves it
An expert explains a decision, walks through a process, or answers a question that will come up again. Any teammate saves the whole thread from Slack or Teams in three clicks, with the title, department, and tags in one step.
If the answer lives in an email chain, forward it to your Pravodha address, review the draft, and publish it to your workspace.

- Microsoft Teams
- Email forwarding
The next person finds the answer in a search
Saved threads are tagged by topic and summarized, so the answer appears with the full conversation behind it. A new teammate gets the context without interrupting the person who explained it.
The expert gets the credit, and colleagues see who knows
Every answer is attributed to the person who gave it. Colleagues like and bookmark what helped, and each like builds an expertise badge on the expert's profile.
- Grey: 1 to 4 likes
- Blue: 5 to 9 likes
- Green: 10 to 19 likes
- Gold: 20 or more likes

Outcomes
What changes when your team stops losing knowledge
Pravodha is designed for companies between 50 and 500 people: complex enough to have a real knowledge problem, too lean to staff a solution to it.
Questions get answered without interrupting anyone
When institutional knowledge is searchable, the ping that would have disrupted a senior engineer's deep work never gets sent. Answers exist before questions are asked.
The expert behind the answer is visible
Every answer carries its author's name, and their profile shows the expertise colleagues have recognized. Teams see who actually knows, not just who happens to be online.
Departures stop taking context with them
When knowledge is captured continuously rather than at offboarding, what people knew stays accessible after they leave. The institutional record outlasts any individual.
Cross-team context flows without extra effort
Knowledge created in one team's channels becomes searchable by every other team. Engineering context reaches product. Customer patterns reach roadmap decisions.
New hires get up to speed without draining the team
Instead of scheduling one-on-ones to reconstruct existing knowledge, new hires find it in a search. Onboarding accelerates as the knowledge base compounds over time.
Experts gain reputation, not just more questions
Contributors build a visible record of their expertise, with badges that colleagues' likes earn. Sharing knowledge becomes a professional asset, not just an obligation.
Who it's for
Built for the people who feel the knowledge problem most
Pravodha addresses knowledge loss at the team level, starting with the managers and leads who spend the most time routing questions and watching answers disappear.
David Hollis
Engineering Manager
"My senior engineers spend half their day answering the same questions. The wiki is outdated. Nobody has time to fix it."
How Pravodha helpsKnowledge from Slack and Teams is captured without adding to already-full plates. New engineers find answers without interrupting senior engineers.
Marcia Lane
Ops Lead
"Every time someone leaves, we lose the undocumented context that made our processes actually work. Not just the steps, the why."
How Pravodha helpsProcess context is captured in real conversations, not reconstructed from memory. Institutional knowledge survives turnover.
Ethan Pierce
People Ops / HR
"Onboarding takes three months because new hires can't find anything. They interrupt the team constantly for information that should be findable."
How Pravodha helpsNew hires find answers through search rather than interruption. A policy answer saved once, from a thread or a forwarded email, is findable by everyone.
Sofia Bennett
Product Manager
"I can never find the reasoning behind past decisions. Every roadmap conversation relitigates things that were already decided six months ago."
How Pravodha helpsDecision context is searchable. The reasoning behind prior product choices is preserved and attributed to the people who made them.
