Senior Product Designer ✦ Nykaa
Senior Product Designer ✦ Nykaa
Oct 2023 • Present • Gurgaon (On-site)
🎖️ Game Changer Award 2026
Nykaa Fashion is one of India's largest fashion e-commerce platforms. I own the end-to-end design here - from the design system that holds everything together, to the individual flows that shape how millions of users shop.
I led the full product design for Nike India (nike.in) . Nykaa's flagship global brand partnership - and the Nykaa × H&M launch, handling everything from discovery to checkout. Beyond brand launches, I've worked across the entire platform - onboarding, post-purchase, push notifications, gamification, and splash screens. Each project started with a clear user problem and ended with something live and measured.
Design Lead ✦ Kenko Health
Design Lead ✦ Kenko Health
Apr 2023 • Sept 2023 • Banglore (Hybrid)
Kenko was a consumer health insurance startup. I joined as the first design lead and built everything from scratch the design system, the product experience, and the team's design process.
It was fast, scrappy, and deeply cross-functional. Working on health and insurance taught me how to design for trust in high-stakes, low-familiarity product categories.
Product Design ✦ Zomato
Product Design ✦ Zomato
Mar 2021 • Mar 2023 • Gurgaon (On-site)
✨ Zomato App Redesign 2022
Two years at one of India's most design-forward companies. I was part of the team that redesigned the entire Zomato app (V17) - touching discovery, ordering, and checkout for tens of millions of users.
I also co-built the Sushi design system, which standardised how the whole product team designed and shipped. Across two years I worked on 40+ projects, which taught me how to move fast without losing quality.
UX Designer ✦ Deloitte
UX Designer ✦ Deloitte
Nov 2020 • Feb 2021 • Mumbai (Remote)
Worked on BPCL's national digital transformation through Deloitte. My first taste of enterprise UX — complex stakeholder ecosystems, government-scale infrastructure, and design decisions that had to work for a very wide range of users.

UX/UI Designer ✦ Nickelfox
UX/UI Designer ✦ Nickelfox
Feb 2019 • Nov 2020 • Noida (On-site)
An agency environment where I wore many hats - research, wireframing, client management, and final delivery. Working across multiple industries in quick succession sharpened my ability to understand new domains fast and design with confidence.
