I design products people touch, and the screens on them.
I’m a B.Des Product Design student at MIT ADT University, Pune, with a minor in UI/UX. I design the object, the flow and the screens together, because a well-made product with a confusing screen still sends people looking for help.
Looking for: a graduation-project internship in product, HMI or interaction design.
Off the clock: high on caffeine, grooving on beats, cooking up something new.
A Scan, Pay, Bag self-checkout counter for Indian clothing stores, with a guided interface and no staff needed to remove tags.
Key insightShoppers still had to queue at a cashier to get hard security tags removed. Paper RFID tags with EAS chips, stitched into the garment and deactivated at payment, remove that step entirely.
A proposal to give Zoho’s Arattai a clear reason to exist: everyday communication for small businesses, and a way for non-users to reply without installing the app.
Key insightPeople already run work through chat, but tasks get buried under newer messages. So any message can become a task, with an owner and a due date, without leaving the chat.
Concepts for a public collection system, each with variations, so packaging households have already sorted reaches a recycler instead of the dry-waste bin. My deep dive: the public collection centre.
Key insightBehaviour isn’t the barrier: residents already set packaging aside, yet 22 of 26 surveyed still bin it, mostly because they don’t know where to take it or what can be recycled.
A design-system revamp that surfaces restrictions and preferences, such as “Couple Friendly” or “Wheelchair Use”, before renters invest time in a listing.
Key insightRenters often discover restrictions, like no bachelors or no pets, only after investing time in a property, and vague preference labels leave them unsure a listing is meant for them.

Winner, Most Innovative Form
The brief: a curtain rod holder that uses as little material as possible without losing its load-bearing strength. Generative design works backwards from the job. You define where the part mounts, the load it has to carry and the space it must keep clear, and the software generates forms that meet those constraints with the least material.
Designed with Isha Kanishga.
