About
Baptized into a hard-core mechanical engineering design role in my first four working years with Leyland's R&D, and with a subsequent two-year specialization in Industrial Design, I operate as an independent Product Designer.
Based out of south India as a specialized extended resource, I team up with start-up manufacturers, establishing insight, evolving strategy, adding creative value in bearing product ideas to market.
