Gagan Sawhney — Co-Founder
I’ve spent the last two decades designing for people.Not screens. Not dashboards. People.And that’s still my anchor today as I build GoGoGo (valued at $10m) , my current obsession where I’m reimagining the travel space using everything I’ve learned about human behavior, empathy, and design intuition.I’ve led product and design across industries, built and scaled global UX teams, and shaped strategies that balance business outcomes with human needs.Research, design systems, usability testing, storytelling, system thinking… it has all shaped how I look at problems today.But here’s the simple version.I help teams:• understand their users• design with clarity• build with purpose• and ship with confidence- I love turning messy ideas into meaningful experiences.- I love teaching, mentoring, and helping designers become better thinkers.- And I love using design to solve real problems, not just aesthetic ones.If you’re building something ambitious and human at the same time, let’s talk.
