I make complex products understandable.

At Innodeed I designed AI-native products for fintech, AIFISE among them, and learned that a good model doesn't make a good product on its own. The real work was the system around it: what context goes in, how uncertainty is shown, how a decision is explained, what happens when the model is wrong, and where a person stays in the loop.

The work I'm proudest of is CKYC automation: RBI-compliant workflows with every status ready for an audit.

On the side, a 30-second annoyance in Figma — making pages one at a time — became Add Multiple Pages, a plugin designers now pass to each other.

Architecture taught me to think about people, spaces, systems and constraints. But what fascinated me most wasn't the building. It was how people behave, and designing around it. Software let me do that at a different pace: put something in front of thousands of people, learn from how they actually use it, and improve it, instead of waiting years for a building to stand.

So in 2021, the year I graduated, I joined Techture to design CUBE, one platform for planning, tracking and collaborating on construction projects. It was the bridge: the same industry, a new medium. Entera came next, an HRMS, and the first product I designed with nothing to do with buildings at all.

I was less interested in designing the building than in designing the system people experience.

Five years of studio at NIT Raipur taught me to start with context rather than solutions: understand the site, the people, the constraints and the system before drawing the first line. Then get challenged, go back, and refine — again and again.

In 2019 I led a team of ten whose proposal won the GRIHA Trophy, for an approach to sustainable architecture that brought environmental performance, passive design, resource efficiency and how people actually use a building into one solution.

I still design that way. The medium changed from buildings to software; the mindset didn't. If anything, AI has made that systems-thinking matter more.

Born in 1996 and schooled at DPS Durg. At fourteen, two things at home felt almost magical: a computer, and an internet connection. Back then they were a luxury, and they opened a whole world to a kid who wanted to know how everything worked — what was behind a website, and whether I could change it.

I didn't explore it alone. My childhood friend Deepak (opens in a new tab) was just as curious; we tried things, broke things and figured them out together. He taught me something bigger than technology: how to enjoy life, how to be a friend without expecting anything back, and how to look at the world with curiosity.

The tools have changed since — from basic code to product design, AI and complex systems. The question hasn't:
