I am a co-founder and director at The Nabachika Foundation. Nabachika is a non-profit that promotes Art as a fundamental driver for Social Impact. Our focus is in the area of the Citizen Arts and our flagship project - Penciljam has conducted over 800 community drawing events over the past 15 years.

I head program development for Employee Engagement, Team Building and L&D for Work from Art.

I co-founded Ideasutra, a Design Lab working in the Social Impact space. For 15 years we have assisted our clients and partners in driving Impact through Service-Design, Impact Communication and Brand Strategy.

My work in the Visual-Arts and Early Childhood Learning attracted the attention of Byjus and in 2021, I accepted an offer to help build a new global product centered around building critical thinking in children through Art. 

The teams that I built ensured that this new category went from raw idea to revenue generating product in under a year. 

My role involved:

* Envisioning the Product and Creating the product pitch
* Creating a new Art Pedagogy and building novel learning systems
* Building User Research Teams and Student Experience competencies
* Developing the Teacher Function and Teacher onboarding Pipeline
* Managing Curriculum, Teacher Success and Student Experience Teams

Once the project was launched and began generating revenue, I handed in my papers, and resumed my work with Ideasutra, the firm I had co-founded a decade earlier.

I joined iVista as the Head of Design for New Media and Web Application development. The most significant project undertaken under this role was to help Titan Industries launch their web presence. We worked with the then MD Mr.Xerxes Desai and his team to launch Titan's first online product catalog and store.

I also represented iVista on the eHealth project at the Cincinnati Childrens Medical Centre (CCHMC) as the Head of Information Architecture for the project. My team and myself worked on location to help develop a structured patient information system including a specialized metadata schema that was designed to help patients and caregivers access critical information effectively.

I joined Netkraft as a Creative Director for the then budding 'web portals' category. This was during the Dotcom boom, and I worked on several different web properties ranging from Pet Services to Entertainment Portals (Which in those days were a grab bag of news, games, quizzes and whatnot. Sites such as Buzzfeed are a descendant of that category).

The most significant project that I worked on was for a B2B Ecommerce portal for Rubber Products. For the pitch, I visualised the potential business rules using methods such as design fiction and rapid prototyping using static HTML pages. 

Peter Morville's famous Polar Bear book released during my time at Netkraft. I applied what I learned about IA at work and I carried the knowledge and experience from such projects into my next career destination.

Vaspar was one of the leading retail POP infrastructure and accessories manufacturer for the Country at the time. I joined Vaspar as the Head of Design and primarily worked on design development of retail kiosks, vending and display systems. 

During my time here, I 'computerised' several aspects of the production workflow. For instance, introducing 3D visualisation to the organisation's work process helped cut down valuable time spent on approvals of early prototypes by customers.

Empower was a multimedia company, meaning, they created programs that were distributed on CD-ROMS. The programs were largely informational or educational. Our Bangalore team was the offshore development centre for this US based company, which saw us create projects such as Firearms Saftey training for American Police forces using Video modules delivered via CD-ROMS.

Empower's gift to me was to introduce me to graphical computing. I joined them as a cartoonist and transitioned into a Interaction Designer. I used tools such as the early version of Adobe's Photoshop and Autodesk's 3D Studio 4 to develop graphics. I used tools such as Macromedia's Authorware to author basic multimedia programs.
