I along with my cofounder established our design firm in Pune right after graduation, where I assumed the responsibility of the design lead. We were inspired by the endless possibilities and the power of digital and social platforms and leveraged this opportunity with a single vision of helping brands bridge the gap between the virtual and real world with strategic use of design. Over the years we have grown from a Pune-based startup to an international full-service design and consultancy studio.
