Born and raised in Hyderabad. Studied Human-Centered Design at Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology in Bangalore and learned the rest by shipping real things.

I design enterprise tools for apparel manufacturing factories across Asia, building 0→1 product verticals across mobile, desktop, kiosks, and tablets. Lately, I've been getting more curious about AI and what it takes to actually build with it.

I follow football and cricket with the same obsessive attention I bring to interaction flows, which is either a strength or a problem, depending on who you ask. I travel, but I keep going back to places I've already been to. There's something about knowing a city well enough to have a favourite corner in it.

Be curious,
not judgemental.

I think about this in research, when a user does something I didn't expect. In design reviews, when a PM pushes back on something I was certain about. And when I'm wrong, which happens.

The non-obvious answer usually only shows up after you've stopped assuming you already know what you're looking at. That's where the actual design work starts.
