Two ends of Indian digital.

I have designed at two ends of Indian digital: a super app used by millions, and public services that have to work for everyone. Both taught me the same lesson from opposite directions.

Tata Neu

Product designer · 2020 to 2025 · Consumer scale

Dozens of products sat inside one app, and the agency-built design system could not keep up. As product designer I worked on onboarding, offers, discovery, UPI and more, then built the in-house, token-based system every team drew from. It powered a major relaunch, the one where the Google Play rating rose from 3.8 to 4.2. Performance work shipped in the same relaunch, so I do not credit the system alone.

National public services

Product designer · 2025 to present · Nation scale

Government services grow one portal at a time, so a citizen ends up facing dozens of sites with their own logins. I unify those platforms into one coherent system and build the shared design foundations used across national e-governance services.
