Testimonials
Really great mentor who knows exactly where you need to improve and isn’t afraid to point it out. He has a great understanding of design as a field and does a great job of helping you grow from good to great. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking to progress in there career.
This wasn't just a conversation about design—it was about products, decision-making, and what it really takes to build experiences that create impact. We spoke about everything from product strategy and design decisions to handling ambiguity, validating ideas, working with feedback, and balancing user needs with business goals. Every discussion was backed by real-world experience, making the insights incredibly practical and immediately applicable. What I enjoyed the most was that it felt like an open exchange of ideas rather than a typical mentorship session. We explored different approaches, challenged assumptions, and discussed how thoughtful design decisions can shape the direction of a product. I walked away with fresh perspectives, actionable feedback, and a lot of ideas that I'm excited to put into practice. More than anything, it was simply a fantastic conversation—full of great discussions, honest feedback, and a lot of fun along the way. Thank you, Akhil, for your time, insights, and generosity in sharing your experience. Looking forward to many more conversations like this.
I had the opportunity to meet Akhil for a design review, and I truly appreciate his time and patience. He listened carefully, my doubts, reviewed my work, and encouraged me to stay consistent. His guidance cleared several lingering doubts and gave me a clear sense of direction. Thank you Akhil! I am grateful for your support and valuable insights you shared.
gained a lot of clarity on what I should be doing and some much needed reassurance that i'm not as screwed as i thought i was, infact far from it.

About me
I am a Product Design Leader with a focus on user-centered design and a proven track record of building products that deliver unparalleled convenience and impact at scale. Over the past decade, I’ve led design teams, shaped design systems, and launched products loved by millions across India and beyond.
At Swiggy, I built and led a team of six talented designers, creating products from scratch such as InsanelyGood and SuprDaily — both praised for transforming how consumers experience grocery shopping with speed and quality.
At Uber, I joined as the second designer for the India team, contributing to major launches like Uber Lite, Rewards, Uber Rides, and Uber Eats. My work extended to User Lifecycle Management and Marketing, where I collaborated with cross-functional teams across APAC to design user journeys that improved retention, engagement, and acquisition.
Earlier at Roposo, I designed UX and interfaces for India’s first fashion-focused social networking app, working hands-on across wireframing, prototyping, and interaction design while collaborating with researchers, engineers, and product managers.
Today, my passion lies in scaling design teams, integrating AI-driven workflows, and defining design strategies that blend craft, speed, and business impact.
