I’ve mentored 100+ designers.

The ones who grow fastest all have one thing in common.

They don’t ask “how do I do this?”

They ask “why does this matter to the user?”

That single shift changes everything.

Follow for more lessons from the mentoring trenches.

🇮🇳 CBSE OSM “Scam” = Manufactured Outrage
Rahul Gandhi & Kejriwal grabbed a 17-year-old blogger and turned routine procurement paperwork into a “corruption conspiracy.”
I read the tender, the bid documents, the penalty clauses and the evaluation records.
Time to destroy this narrative. 🧵

The UX career risk from AI isn't job loss.
It's irrelevance.
Designers who can't articulate why a decision was made - not just what was designed will get bypassed.
By PMs. By engineers. By the AI that drafts faster than they think. Defend your reasoning, not your deliverables.

Nobody tells beginners this: UX doesn't start with Figma. It starts with observation. What you notice in a coffee shop, a lift, an app you use daily - that's where design thinking begins.

Getting an @Olacabs and @Uber n Pune is a totally frustrating experience. Drivers don't accept rides and ask only for cash, and @CMOMaharashtra has turned a blind eye to this situation. So many complaints on X, but no action.

@Ravisutanjani I bought three ACs: MarQ from Flipkart, Whirlpool and Voltas. Surprisingly, MarQ’s performance is the best.

Me trying to design without Claude n chatGPT

[Awesh @awesh]

My actual AI design workflow in 2026:
- Claude for briefs, critique and research synthesis
- Figma Make for ideation generation
- Claude + Figma Make for rapid prototyping
- Maze for usability testing
- Claude again for synthesis and recommendations

AI didn't replace my workflow.
It replaced the slow parts of it.

#InfiniteIndia | The Sati narrative was often distorted during colonial rule to malign India and its civilization. In the Ramayana and Mahabharata, countless women were widowed, yet widow burning was not the norm. Ancient Vedic traditions allowed widows to live with dignity and remarry, but selective interpretations were used by colonial Christian missionaries to defame India’s social heritage.

@aparanjape I had the same question. I saw many traffic police busy issuing challans on the Nagar Road, but no one seemed to be managing traffic at the-busy signals. Locals were helping to manage traffic.

Do not just share Figma file, Explain-
"Here's what we're solving. Here's why we made these decisions. Here are the edge cases."

@Ravisutanjani Local auto unions are the reason. Vote bank

@TimesNow @aakaaanksha What is the role of the WHO in today’s world? Are they merely messengers warning us of health outbreaks or do they actively work to prevent them?

Managing your own work is as important as doing your own work.

The worst thing a UX designer can say in a sprint planning meeting: "It depends."
