Designing
for scale, leading with systems.
Hello! I’m a product design leader and mentor who solves complex challenges with cross-functional teams; always guided by a clear vision, user focus, and strategic direction. I empower teams through collaboration, empathy, system/ process driven outcome, and mentorship, fostering inclusive, high-performing environments that deliver meaningful impact.
Currently leading a team of 11 designers; including researchers, UX, and UI specialists; while collaborating with a global network of design system experts to build a multi-brand design system at Reliance Jio. Have also been a key player in the creation and successful implementation of a design system at Jio, scaling it across 144 products in just 1.5 years.
​
With over 12 years of experience in design, including 8+ years in leadership roles, my strengths lie in design strategy, user research, UX design, and a deep, logical understanding of both design and product ecosystems.
​
Helped teams improve key product metrics like conversion, retention, and engagement, and have played a pivotal role in scaling new teams to deliver best-in-class experiences.

Shreyansh Sunil, was my direct report @ Jio
Working with Saikat Roy has been a defining experience in my career. From day one, he invested in my growth—not just as a designer, but as a well-rounded professional. His patience and encouragement during my learning phase pushed me to consistently strive for excellence.
Saikat leads by example. He blends deep design expertise with a structured, business-driven mindset—always aligning creative work with strategic outcomes. His farsighted approach ensures design delivers real, lasting impact.
A standout example of his leadership is his work on building the design system for Jio—a large-scale high-impact initiative that showcases his ability to think at scale, define structure, and elevate the design culture across the organization.
Under his guidance, I’ve grown immensely in both skill and mindset. It’s been a privilege to learn from him.
