About Me
Born and raised in Mumbai, I'm a design leader with 14+ years of experience building 0–1 products, scaling design teams, and shaping cultures where craft and clarity actually stick. I've worked across consumer tech, fintech, healthcare, and eCommerce - and currently lead product design at Loco, an e-gaming and streaming product.
I'm grounded in a simple belief - the best product experiences come from teams that think clearly, collaborate honestly, and aren't afraid to play.

This means caring about how products work, how they scale, and how design influences decisions at every level of an organisation. It means partnering closely across product, engineering, and business - leading design through complexity and contributing to decisions that shape both product direction and outcomes.
A significant part of my career has been about developing people. I've mentored designers individually, helping them move from execution to ownership, and built team environments where that growth compounds over time. Getting design teams from output to impact is work I find genuinely meaningful.
I'm also a Certified LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® Facilitator, using structured play to help teams align faster, surface what's hard to say out loud, and solve complex problems more effectively. It sounds unconventional, but it works. Through Duckture, I run a creative initiative focused on workshops, facilitation, and building communities around play and creativity.
At its core, my work is about building products and teams that don't just ship - but create meaningful, scalable impact.
