Nishant Jain — Co-Founder
I believe design can solve complex problems that make a difference in people's lives. Design-thinking is simply a structured way to solve a problem. Any problem. My latest venture Toffee Insurance - toffeeinsurance.com - is merely an extension of this design-thinking mindset, where we re-imagine the way insurance is understood and bought by Millennials in India. I have 18+ years of experience in leading, building and running design teams in small to large organizations. As a co-founder/CEO of Design For Use, I have a global consulting experience across geographies and practically in all verticals and platforms. Moreover, I have an academic research background which has always driven me to mentor and teach on a regular basis. I have a Bachelor's from the Delhi College of Engineering, and a Master's in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) from the University of Michigan. I am always open for interesting challenges at the intersection of complex human behaviour and high-technology.
