UXDX Panel
May 2025
AI at Work | In-person, Bengaluru
Discussed AI design ethics and user-centric models for automation in the enterprise stack.
Attendance capped at 115.
I love sharing what I've learned on stage, in workshops, or on panels. I've spoken at gatherings from intimate 50-person sessions to conferences of 800+. I'm happy to do keynotes; I'm most at home with lightning talks, panels, and workshops where we can go deep and leave with something usable. Over the past few years I've spoken at UXDX, NFT London, and Google I/O Extended; I also mentor through IIT Roorkee's E-Cell, Designed.org, and the University of Minnesota, and support impact work with GiveIndia and Kaivalya Education Foundation.

What I speak on
Topics I love
- Sustainability: design and product choices that last
- Building as a founder: shipping, pivoting, and leading from zero to one
- Product & design: strategy, systems, and user-centric execution
- Scaling teams: hiring, mentoring, and measuring impact
- AI in design: human-centered automation and ethics in AI/UX
- Making design impactful: connecting design to business and user outcomes
Thesis
Design at scale is less about pixels and more about systems: how teams are built, how impact is measured, and how design sits inside product and business. With AI changing the floor and ceiling, I focus on human-centered automation, ethics in AI design, and teams that learn fast and ship with clarity.
Formats
I can do keynotes when the fit is right. I'm most comfortable in lightning talks, panels, and workshops, where we can go hands-on and leave with something concrete.
