About

Over the last few years at Razorpay, I’ve worked on a mix of internal and merchant-facing products - from revamping internal agent tools and finance workflows to designing merchant-facing experiences and product pages. I’ve also contributed a few patterns to our design system to help teams ship faster and stay consistent. Before Razorpay, I worked in ed-tech at Epic (BYJUs), focusing on improving engagement and conversion. Lately, I’ve been exploring how AI can accelerate parts of the design and development workflow and help close the gap between idea and shipped product. As part of that experimentation, I became the first designer at Razorpay to raise a PR to production. Outside work, I enjoy playing the ukulele, training calisthenics, and spending time with animals. I’m also passionate about animal welfare.

During my time at BNA, I was given the opportunity to work on both architectural as well as interior projects ranging across various typologies, viz. residential, commercial, retail and F&B. As part of the team, I learnt about design strategies and services, effective communication, client interaction, project management, etc. I learnt to think of different ways to approach design problems, while always prioritising the user's experience.
