I am an Industrial Designer with a Master of Design from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (Global rank 129 in QS World University Rankings 2026), working at the intersection of engineering and design in medical and electromechanical product development.
Professionally, I see myself as a product developer, not just a concept generator. I collaborate with startups and growing product teams to build things that withstand real-world use and operational constraints, contributing across system architecture, product detailing, fabrication strategy, and cross-functional integration. My work has spanned portable medical diagnostics, neurostimulation devices, wearable assistive systems, and precision mechanisms, each shaped by the belief that good design earns its existence through function, reliability, and consequence.
As both an engineer and a designer, I am particularly drawn to problems where design decisions carry long-term impact, especially in medical and electronic product development, where getting it wrong is not an option.
My approach to design is grounded in a simple conviction:
"If it is perceivable, it can be built — and if it can be built, it must be built responsibly."
Outside of work, I dismantle and repair things, read, watch anime, explore the outdoors, and seek out anything aggressively spicy. Curiosity, technical and cultural, continues to shape how I observe and build.

Academics & Exhibitions
I have been invited as a guest lecturer, mentor, and workshop facilitator at institutions including the School of Design Innovation at Mahindra University and T-Works, engagements focused on bridging academic design thinking with real-world product development across medical, wearable, and electromechanical systems.
My work has been exhibited at the India International Jewellery Show (IIJS) and the IIT Bombay Design Degree Show, with a published paper in JETIR on engineering design and product modification.
I welcome opportunities for guest lectures, design workshops, and mentorship, particularly where engineering rigour meets human-centered design practice. Feel free to get in touch.
