About

Designing the future of AI-native products, systems, and teams. • Scaled global design organizations (35+ designers across 7 countries) • Built AI-driven SaaS, CX, and e-commerce platforms • Operating at the intersection of AI, product, and systems thinking Obsessed with design and technology since my teens. Started my first venture before graduating, studied economics, then moved into design — bridging business, creativity, and systems thinking. Led Snapdeal’s mobile design during hypergrowth, scaling adoption through trust-first UX. Joined Hike as first designer, building features like Hike Wallet, Coins, and Stickers, scaling to 100M+ users. Shaped AI-powered photo sharing at Shoto, drawing acquisition interest from Apple & Google. At Builder.ai, scaled a 35+ member global design org across 7 countries, delivering AI assistants, modular UI systems, and 300+ enterprise projects. Today, I focus on: • AI-native product design (LLMs, agents, conversational + workflow UX) • Enterprise UX & CX (systems, scale, measurable outcomes) • Building design teams that operate with clarity, ownership, and speed When I’m not designing, you’ll find me on the tennis court, painting, or exploring new ideas at the intersection of AI, design, and business. Open to: VP, Head of Design, Director, and Senior Director roles in UX, CX, and Experience Design. Explore more → cplusk.in (Portfolio) → chandan.ai (Personal Website)
