KOSH
India scaled payments faster than it built trust. UPI made money move in seconds, but instant is also irreversible. Kosh is the missing layer: a conditional payment system that holds funds until both sides agree the work is done.
Every frustrating experience you've had was someone's design decision, I make better ones.

ARKA
Indian homeowners generating solar energy had no legible way to understand what their system was doing. Data existed, dashboards didn't. Arka redesigned the monitoring experience from opaque to actionable, taking comprehension time from 18 minutes to 4.

NESTSTUDY
Students want to study together. They never actually do. The enemy isn't motivation, it's the gap between intent and action. So we built Nest.

Design lives in the details

Hi, I'm Akshat. I tend to start in the opposite place from most design discussions. Instead of asking how a screen should look, I like asking why the system works the way it does in the first place. Most frustrating experiences aren't caused by a single bad interface. They're usually the result of disconnected decisions, unclear incentives, or workflows that don't match how people actually think and work.
That's the part of design that interests me. I enjoy untangling complexity, understanding the bigger picture, and finding ways to make products feel clearer, more intuitive, and easier to trust. It's the same philosophy behind this portfolio: zoom out first, understand the system, then design the details.
And since I've already claimed that bad design is a choice, I'm doing my best to make sure this portfolio isn't one of them.
