About

Sagar is a passionate product designer who loves building products and services that empowers its users. He has a diverse experience in the industry - from working in very fast paced environments at startups where he lead his products through multiple strategical and business pivots to working at AirAsia, where he helped them be on the trajectory to become the biggest super app of the Asean region. He is a firm believer in user centered design methodology and understands the value of user research. That's why he often stresses on finding and utilising key user insights before getting on with any design decisions. When Sagar is not brainstorming ideas in a meeting, or trying to perfect some pixels on his screen, he can be seen either playing on his Xbox, going for late night drives or most likely - sipping a nice cup of Cafe Latte at a nearby Starbucks. And, while he continues to learn more and more about his core domains of UX, UI and product design on a regular basis, he also can often be seen taking courses in other things that interest him such as music and video production, brand management, etc.

Blackboard radio

Design Lead

Jun 2018Sep 2019 · 1 yr 3 mos · Greater Bengaluru Area

  • Blackboard radio is essentially a spoken English learning platform for kids mainly targeting tier 2 and tier 3 cities in India. As the Design Lead at this startup (recently Sequoia funded) I was responsible for leading their entire product design while also working on the strategy, print design, marketing among other things for a span of almost a year and a half. While I was at the company we launched the product in multiple cities and partnered with multiple schools growing the user base from about 200 to almost 6000 users and more than 10K app downloads. At the company I also got very valuable experiences in terms of a fast work environment that saw multiple pivots in its product and business strategies. I was also responsible for managing multiple interns at the company who were working on marketing, print collateral, video materials and even the app while making sure that each of these legs of the product work in harmony with each other.
