a bit about me..

With over a decade of experience in UX design and leadership, I specialize in building high-impact design teams, shaping product strategy, and driving user-centered innovation. Currently heading the product design team at Spinny, I lead a talented group of designers, researchers, and copywriters, driving the evolution of Spinny into a full-fledged automotive super-app.I am deeply invested in fostering a strong design culture: giving designers a voice, promoting collaboration, and creating structured growth paths.


I have a proven track record of scaling design functions, establishing research verticals, and bridging the gap between business, product, and design to deliver meaningful user experiences. I also actively mentor designers, share insights through talks at top design schools, and create content to help designers grow in their careers.

Alongside design, I’ve been pursuing my musical career for 18 years, primarily on weekends. Trained in classical tabla, I play over 20 percussion instruments, with a focus on the "Ghatam," where I’ve developed a contemporary style. My work has been recognized by Ed Sheeran, Akshay Kumar, and over 60k Instagram followers, along with 1.2 lakh YouTube subscribers. I’ve performed on 300+ stages across India, including 4 TEDx talks on balancing music with a full-time profession.
