About

I currently lead design at FirstClub, where we are building a new kind of grocery experience for the conscious Indian consumer. Our focus is on making clean, high-quality food easy to discover and enjoyable to shop through thoughtful, transparent, and user-first design. Before this, I headed the design team at NEWME, a fast-growing Gen Z fashion tech brand. Prior to that, I worked as a Senior Product Designer at Cleartrip and Flipkart, where I helped reimagine the air travel journey from planning and booking to post-trip engagement for millions of users. I also spent time at Zeta, designing finance-first products for global institutions and simplifying complex workflows into clear and intuitive experiences. Across these roles, I have built and scaled design systems, led product launches, and grown cross-functional design teams. I enjoy solving real-world problems through a mix of strategy, systems thinking, and visual craft. Outside work, I enjoy conversations around design, music, films, and ambitious product ideas. Always open to connecting over coffee or a cold one.
