Designer × Builder × AI
Right now, I'm at Kotak building AI-native banking products. Not AI as a feature layer — AI as the foundation of how banks operate. Designing workflows where intelligence is embedded from the ground up. The challenge isn't making AI look good; it's making complex financial operations legible when humans and machines are making decisions together.
Before this, I worked at Koinex, India's first crypto exchange—where fintech grabbed me. Led design at FloBiz (myBillBook, FloProfit). Built supply chain finance products at Cashflo.
A year ago, I joined Kotak laser-focused on supply chain finance for Indian SMEs. Then AI changed the game — not just as a tool, but as a fundamental rethink of how products are structured. The agentic nature of AI-native systems completely redirected me, and I've been building in that direction ever since.
Outside work, you'll find me solo camping in jungles, trekking the Western Ghats whenever I get time, no I make time for this. That's what keeps me alive and creative.

Side projects I'm experimenting and thinking through.
AI meeting summaries are comprehensive but unreadable. I'm building visual, scannable recaps that people actually engage with. Waitlist now live.
Not another generic content plugin. You upload your org's content guidelines. Select an artboard in Figma and run this. It does two things: assesses and scores your content against your guidelines, then generates a better version in full compliance. Your rules, your voice—automated.
Your org does endless research—files, recordings, interview transcripts scattered everywhere. What if you could convert those into synthetic users you can actually talk to? Not generic personas. Real talking users backed by your research data. Available 24/7 whenever you need to validate an idea.
