Suram Hazarika — Head of Design
I’ve loved building things ever since I can remember. I find joy in bringing structure to chaos and solving problems in ways that feel simple and intuitive. Whether designing a product, shaping an experience, or crafting a service, I have always believed that simplicity is the truest form of elegance. My background in architecture taught me to see design as more than just aesthetics; it’s about function, balance, and how people interact with the world around them. Over the last 8 years, working across interaction design, brand strategy, and product development has reinforced my belief that great design isn’t just about what you create, but how it connects with people. Currently, I lead the Gaming and Engagement charter at one of India's largest media and entertainment company, JioHotstar, where I focus on shaping interactive experiences at scale. Before this, my time at Jio and Viacom18 saw me reimagine the interfaces of JioTV and JioNews, and lead the design for enterprise SaaS products like PeopleFirst, ensuring they were as intuitive as they were impactful. To me, design is never a solo effort, it’s a collaboration between disciplines, perspectives, and ideas. It’s about asking the right questions, iterating until something feels just right, and resisting (sometimes with considerable effort) the urge to overcomplicate what is best left simple. That process is what keeps me excited every day. If these ideas resonate, do drop a line! Conversations, after all, are where the best journeys begin. I’m usually found hanging around coffee shops and bakeries in Panjim, Goa.
