01 — Context

UX in the middle of India’s classifieds boom

Thirty million people a month, every category, every device, every connection speed. This is where I learned that experience is a system — support, onboarding, and growth as much as screens.

02 — Decisions

Fix the seams, not just the surfaces

  • Unified chat and IVR support into one workflow, so help didn’t fall between channels.
  • Motion design for onboarding — using movement to teach the first run rather than explain it.
  • 50+ growth campaigns across social and email, including work for partners like Flipkart.
03 — Outcomes

Scaled, and smoother at scale

Early scale taught me that UX is a system, not a screen.
Lesson

The foundation for everything that came later: when millions of people meet a product, the wins come from the connective tissue — the support, the first run, the growth loop — not just the pixels.
