On giving credit and acknowledging your team's work

It takes a good high-functioning team to build innovative software and digital experiences. When a company releases new work, the norm is to credit it all to a coveted leader or the founders. Rarely do I see the names of the team members mentioned and this culture should change in the Indian technology ecosystem.

I believe that putting the team forward by giving rightful credit publicly or internally in weekly team/company updates goes a long way. It’s an important leadership quality, to acknowledge and give credit to the team at the right time. Recognizing an individual’s effort is useful for the long-term growth of the team and the organization.

My experience as a mentor in Ownpath

It’s been more than 8 years since I’ve started my design journey. I was introduced to Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and the world of design during my college days at a time when my friends were busy preparing to apply for internships.

For the past 4 years, I’ve been a designer at a boutique design & strategy studio called Obvious where I’ve worked with amazing folks across small startups, non-profits and big corporates, helping them design e-commerce apps, a gaming platform, new-age information consumption patterns, & much more.
